Fluid Bed Dryer

The fluid bed dryer is a flexible, versatile technology that provides controlled, uniform drying critical to pharmaceutical processing and stability. This integrated system leverages heated airflow to efficiently remove moisture from materials, facilitating the drying of granules, pellets, powders, and more post-wet massing, plus providing options for additional downstream secondary processing. Fully automated process control enables precise adjustments to temperature, airflow rate and drying time to achieve desired residual moisture specifications without compromising quality. The dynamic vibrating inlet sieve prevents oversized particles from entering the process chamber. With exceptional efficiency, capacity, and containment compared to conventional tray drying, the fluid bed dryer allows students to undertake innovative research into sustained release coatings, polymer microencapsulation, and dry powder layering for the next generation of oral and respiratory dosage forms.
