Introduction
The document introduces the GRANUCON® system, a complete continuous granulation line developed by Gebrüder Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH. This system includes the LCF 5 dryer, which addresses the need for a suitable dryer in continuous granulation processes.

Specifications
The LCF 5 dryer operates on a fluid bed process and is designed to handle throughputs ranging from 5 kg/h to 30 kg/h with product moisture levels up to 20%. A key innovation is the integration of a screw for forced conveyance, which ensures a tight retention time distribution, overcoming a common disadvantage of continuous fluid beds.

Optional Equipment

• Exchangeable bottom for flexibility in operations.
• Quick and easy removal of the screw for maintenance.
• Integrated Wash-In-Place (WIP) cleaning system.
• Individual cleaning of filter elements to maintain efficiency.
• Variable air quantity control in three chambers for process optimization.

Conclusion
The GRANUCON® system, with its innovative LCF 5 dryer, provides a comprehensive solution for continuous granulation, ensuring efficient drying with precise retention time management. This advancement enhances the capabilities of Lödige's continuous granulation offerings, complementing their existing CM and KM machine types.
