What is fluid bed processor?

Fluid Bed Processor is a very good technology to make granules from powder using top spray method. The technology is most suited as the same equipment can be used for top spray granulation, bottom spray coating & drying all 03 parameters in the same equipment thereby reducing the nos of equipment used for a process.

What is difference between FBD and FBP?

What is the Difference Between FBD and FBP? FBD is used for only drying and, FBP is used for Granulation, Drying, Agglomeration, and Coating Process.

What is fluid bed equipment?

Fluidized bed dryer (also called fluid bed dryer) is a kind of equipment used extensively in the pharmaceutical industries to reduce the moisture content of pharmaceutical powder and granules. The equipment works on a principle of fluidization of the feed materials.

How does a fluid bed granulator work?

The fluid bed granulation process (also known as agglomeration) involves suspending particles in an air stream and spraying a liquid from the top of the system down onto the fluidized bed (top-down spray). Particles in the path of the spray get slightly wet and become sticky.

Why is FBD capacity in KG?

Why FBD (Fluidized Bed Dryer) capacity measured in Kg and RMG (Rapid Mixer Dryer) capacity measured in Litre? It’s a design issue. The main functionality of RMG is “holding, mixing and granulating of standard volume”. The bulk density is product specific and may not be same for all products.

What is CFM in fluid bed dryer?

(3000-3300 cubic foot per minute (cfm)) was. excessive for the amount of material in the fluid bed. dryer. The rapid rise in the exhaust air temperature.

How does a fluid bed work?

In short: A continuous fluid-bed system is a machine in which a continuous flow of “wet” powder, granular or flakes material is conveyed over a perforated bed. Hot drying air is blown through the holes of a perforated plate. The wet solids are lifted from the bottom and causes the solids to behave as a fluid.

How is FBD CFM calculated?

Flow rate = Velocity x Area of cross section. Total capacity required = 884 / 0.8 = 1105 m3/hr = 651 CFM.

How does a fluid bed dryer work?

What is fluidized bed agglomeration?

Fluidized bed agglomeration consists in spraying liquid (e.g. binder solution or water) onto, or into, a fluidized bed of particles. Sprayed liquid droplets wet the particle surface rendering it “sticky” due either to the formation of a film of binder solution, or to the modification of the particle surface viscosity.

What are the advantages of fluidized bed?

In fluidized bed combustion, rapid mixing ensures uniformity of temperature. The main advantage of fluidized bed combustion system is that municipal waste, sewage plant sludge, biomass, agricultural waste and other high moisture fuels can be used for heat generation.
