AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND AN INSTALLATION THAT COMBINES SAID SYSTEM WITH A DRYING, GRANULATING OR COATING DEVICE IN THE FIELD OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING
The present invention relates to an air conditioning system (1, T, 1") to be used in a drying, granulating or coating process in the field of pharmaceutical product manufacturing, comprising conveying means for conveying the air in which is being conditioned divided into a first unit (10), which houses dehumidification means (11), and a second unit (20), which houses the heating means (21) for the dehumidified air, the first and second units (10, 20) being prepared to be coupled in series and provide continuity to the air conveyance, the air conveyance means further comprising a third unit (30) that can be coupled between the first and the second units (10, 20) giving continuity to the air conveyance with a heat recovery unit (31) of the indirect contact gas-gas type through which the air being conditioned is forced to circulate for preheating thereof, the third unit (30) being provided for this purpose with a hot inlet (30c) and a cold outlet (30d) for the recovery gas that is also forced to circulate through the heat recovery unit (31).
An apparatus for coating or encapsulating articles, having a drum with a perforated wall rotatably assembled in a wrap-around chamber and suitable for containing and stirring a batch of articles to be coated; a dispenser group with one or more nozzles for spraying a coating product; a gas inlet to direct clean drying gas against the perforated wall and a gas outlet to extract from the chamber dirty drying gas. An adjustable closure system is interposed between the drum and the gas outlet of the chamber, defining a passage for the dirty drying gas smaller than the passage by the gas outlet and further displaced or concentrated coinciding with the area of the wall of the drum that is effectively covered by the batch of articles. An automated adjustment of the locking system is envisaged, taking into account the position of the nozzles within the drum.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for coating or encapsulating articles, comprising: a drum with a perforated wall, which is rotatably mounted inside a surrounding chamber and is suitable for containing and stirring a batch of articles to be coated during the rotation of the drum; a dispenser group with one or more nozzles for spraying a coating product on the articles contained in the drum; at least one gas inlet leading into the chamber on a first side of the drum, for directing clean drying gas against the perforated wall of the drum; and at least one gas outlet leading out of the chamber on the other side of the drum, for extracting from the chamber dirty drying gas that has passed through the drum. The apparatus comprises an adjustable closure system interposed between the drum and the gas outlet of the chamber, capable of defining an effective passage for the dirty drying gas, which is smaller than the passage provided by the gas outlet of the chamber and also moved or concentrated in the area of the wall of the drum that is effectively covered by the batch of articles. The closure system is adjustable in an automated manner and operates, in one embodiment, taking into account the position of the nozzles within the drum.
