Glattwagen

English translation: Carridge frame

Science - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Pharmaceutical
German term or phrase: Glattwagen
This appears in a cleaning checklist. There is a list of system components that have to be cleaned and one item in this list is a 'Glatt TFO-100'. For this item, various components have to be cleaned, two of which are:
Gummidichtung Glattwagengestell and Glattwagensiebhalterung. The Glatt TFO-100 is a fluid bed dryer (I think) used in e.g. pharmaceutical applications. I suspect Glatt stays as it is because it identifies the company but I really don't know how to translate the 'Wagen' part.

Explanation:
Hallo Julie,

Glatt is a company name and dryer is correct (see link). I suspect that "Wagen" means a carriage and Wagengestell would then be carriage frame / mount / rack. I personally prefer carridge frame.

Best regards
Claudia

I suppose the fluid bed is mounted on the carridge.

By the way, here is Glatt's homepage:

It's a bit slow but some photos might help you.

Thanks!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Dietrich Herrmann, MD, PhD, MBA: I agree with carriage frame. But that dryer is a stationary unit, and the carriage is used for transporting the goods to be fluid dried and/or the recovered solvent.

Explanation:
Hallo Julie,

Forget what I said about the fluid bed, I think it is a dryer for fluid bed applications. So the dryer is mounted on the carridge.

Cheers
Claudia
