Immobilization of laccase on solid supports significantly enhances its stability towards denaturation under operating conditions and allows for continuous processing but, at the same time, results in low productivities owing to the large percentage of non-catalytic mass in the catalyst.
With continuous processing, material is constantly added and removed from the process train.
Continuous processing equipment matches the raw material input with the processed product's output.
Here, a parallel automated track collector was designed to permit continuous processing of thousands of individual nanofibers per minute under highly controllable drawing conditions.

Controls play an important role in operating continuous processing systems.
The opportunity to connect controllability to profitability appears greater for batch processing than for continuous processing.
Currently, pharmaceutical production is making the switch from batch processing towards continuous processing.
A shift from batch processing towards continuous processing is of interest in the pharmaceutical industry.
