Abstract
A fluid bed apparatus module () comprises an outer wall enclosing a processing chamber () and has a lower flange connection () and an upper flange connection (), the lower flange connection being adapted to connection with a flange connection () of a supply of fluidising gas, and the upper flange connection being adapted to connection with a flange connection () of a filter chamber () for gas discharge. At least one partition element () is arranged in the processing chamber, so that at least one elongated channel is formed in the processing chamber, thereby defining a plug-flow area, and at least one substantially continuous product inlet () and at least one substantially continuous product outlet () are arranged in the module. Furthermore, a method comprises changing a first module for a second module in a fluid bed apparatus.
