The two‐dimensional spouted bed has been pointed out in recent research works as an improved configuration of spouted beds. The main advantages in relation to the conventional spouted beds are the easy construction and scale‐up. In this work we begin the study of coating of tablets in two‐dimensional spouted beds. An experimental system was constructed and the data obtained were used to determine the values of maximum pressure drop, minimum spout flowrate and gas‐to‐particle heat transfer coefficient, for 36 process conditions. The experimental results have been correlated with process and geometrical parameters.
