Abstract: A method for the preparation of homogenous microparticles containing a H+, K+-ATP-ase inhibitor using a fluid-bed granulation technique. The microparticles that have a desired size distribution are selected. At least 80% of the microparticle based on its dry weight content is the acid labile H+, K+-ATP-ase inhibitor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter device, especially for a fluidised bed system and particularly for use in the pharmaceutical industry, for separating particles larger than a separating grain from an amount of particles in a fluid flow. The filter device includes a housing and at least one filter portion. A part of the housing is mounted for rotational movement, and the filter portion is provided in the housing, whereby the filter portion is movable upon rotation of the housing. The present invention also relates to a method for separating particles using such a filter device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter device (1), especially for a fluidised bed system (2) and particularly for use in pharmaceutical industry, for separating particles being larger than a separating grain from an amount of particles in a fluid flow. The filter device (1) comprising a housing (3) and at least one filter portion (4). A part of said housing (3) is mounted for rotational movement, and said filter portion (4) is provided in said housing (3), whereby the filter portion (4) is movable upon rotation of said housing (3). The present invention also relates to a method for separating particles using such a filter device.
