A fluid bed granulation process and apparatus, wherein a suitable fluid bed of a particulate material is maintained in a granulator fed by an input flow comprising a growth liquid and by a flow of seeds adapted to promote the granulation, and wherein a part of said input flow is taken upstream the feeding of the fluid bed, and used in a seeds generator, to produce the seeds for the fluid bed.

A component such as a door is coated by immersion in a fluidized bed. The component is supported by a hook assembly that moves the component within the fluidized bed during coating. The movement is cyclical and inhibits bridging of the coating material when applied to intricate articles.

First to eighth laser measurement sections (30a) to (30h) of a laser measurement unit (30) measures a height of a surface of powder resins (15) in a coil insertion range CA for every angular degree in a circumferential direction of a stator core (2). A control unit (18) computes the number of points where the height of the surface is lower than a predetermined height among measurement results at multiple points measured by the first to eighth laser measurement sections (30a) to (30h), where the number of points is defined as an index value indicative of a dispersion of the measurement results. When it has been determined that the index value exceeds a first predetermined value, a notification is issued by outputting from a speaker (32) a sound indicative of the fact that the index value that has been computed exceeds the first predetermined value.

Method and fluidized bed reactor for the production of granules, such as granules of urea or ammonium nitrate. The fluidized bed reactor comprises at least one granulation compartment with air inlets, and an air moving device downstream of the granulation compartment, e.g., downstream of at least one scrubbers. The air moving device is configured to draw air through said at least one air inlet into at least one granulation compartment.
