FLUID BED PROCESSOR

FLUID BED PROCESSOR

The latest technology called fluid bed processing helps in attaining the granulation, coating and drying of a product so that uniform coating and drying takes place. The principle involved in such techniques may be either by bottom spray or top spray or tangential spray process.The usual way to achieve a fluidized bed is to pump pressurized fluid into the particles. into the particles. The resulting medium then has many properties and characteristics of normal fluids, such as the ability to free-flow under gravity, or to be pumped using fluid technologies.A fluid bed processor refers to the entire system comprising air handling components, an air distribution plate, spraying system, a product container and filters. A fluid bed dryer is limited to the drying function and has no spraying system.
