Delivering Solutions The Magic of Hovering All Romaco Innojet solutions for granulating, coating and drying small particles are based on the air flow bed technology originally developed and internationally patented by Dr. h.c. Herbert Hüttlin. This method optimises the core processes of the fluidised bed in order to fluidise solid particles. The flow conditions created for this purpose enable extremely gentle distribution of the product. The targeted radial and tangential flow of process air results in a spiral, orbital product flow. This in turn causes the product to hover – and the individual...
