Achema - Lean and mean

At this year’s Achema, Bosch Packaging Technology will present a new granulation unit GranuLean for the first time. Developed by the Bosch subsidiary Hüttlin, this combines the process steps of mixing, granulating and drying for the manufacturing of pharmaceutical granules.

“The name GranuLean stands for a lean and compact machine, which can be easily integrated into production rooms and focuses on the basic requirements of pharmaceutical producers,” Fritz-Martin Scholz, product manager at Bosch Packaging Technology, explains.

“By concentrating on the essential basic functions within fixed dimensions, we have developed an especially efficient granulation solution.” The GranuLean exhibited at Achema, says the company, saves valuable production room with its 6m length and 3.4m height. The new development is available for three different batch sizes and is based on Hüttlin’s process technology experience.
