In this free webinar, learn about the Wurster fluid bed coating process, fluidization technologies and solutions to process scale aberrations. Attendees will gain an awareness of potential effects of Wurster process scale on product performance. The featured speakers will give a detailed overview of critical/optimal Wurster coater design and application principles. Attendees will gain an understanding of the relationships of particle size, fluidization air velocity and fluidization air volume. The speakers will discuss Wurster fluidization dynamics and the potential effect of these dynamics on product performance.
TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, March 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Wurster (bottom spray) fluid bed particle coating process was patented at the University of Wisconsin in the 1960's. It is a batch process that enables application of precise, uniform film coatings on particulate materials with diameters ranging from 50 µm to several centimeters in size. The ability to both formulate coatings for specific needs and apply one or more coats to required coat thicknesses offers a wide array of potential particle coating strategies. Therefore, the fluid bed coating process addresses wide array of challenges in a wide array of industries.
Common commercial applications include controlled-release or delivery of a payload (delayed, sustained or delayed and sustained); protection from moisture, oxygen or heat; and taste masking.
The Wurster fluid bed coating process is generally scalable from tens of grams to hundreds of kilograms per batch in commercial equipment. Although consistent coating application and product performance can be achieved throughout this entire range, varying critical processing attributes, shifts in processing dynamics and equipment configuration differences can introduce unexpected product variances associated with batch size.
This webinar explores Wurster fluidization dynamics and spray technology with attention to both equipment design and application and the potential influences of each on product performance. It explores root causes of Wurster process scale aberrations including case studies where variances have been encountered. Potential solutions to scaling concerns will also be discussed.
Register for this webinar to learn about the Wurster fluid bed coating process, fluidization technologies and solutions to process scale aberrations.
Join experts from Coating Place, Inc., Charles R. Frey, Vice President of Scientific Affairs; and Darren Kopp, Senior Formulation Scientist, for the live webinar on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, at 2pm EDT (11am PDT).
