Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19644244A1] The invention concerns a fluid bed apparatus for producing and/or further treating granulates, the apparatus having a container which comprises an inlet chamber, through which a gas, in particular air, can flow upwards, and a swirl chamber which is disposed above the inlet chamber and is designed to fluidize the product. Pivotable plates (1) are disposed between the inlet chamber and the swirl chamber. At least one nozzle arm (6) mounted in the container below the plates (1) has at least one nozzle duct (3) bearing a nozzle (4) which is directed into the swirl chamber for introducing granulating substances. The plates (1) have cutouts (2) through which the nozzle ducts (3) are guided such that they extend partially into the swirl chamber, the cutouts (2) being sufficiently large to allow the plates (1) to pivot. The rigidity of the nozzle arms (6) allows them greater clearance in their structural design.
