Fluid Bed Dryer

Application & Process:

Sterial Machinery has adopted a new concept of GMP Regulation and fluid bed technology for the production of a Fluid Bed Dryer, Fluid Bed Processor which yields improved performance. The drying time in the machine is much less than in the conventional model. There is minimum involvement of manual labor simplified maintenance and utilize modular construction techniques to provide flexible installation options.

The Fluid Bed Dryer is a two-piece unit which is manufactured from SS316 stainless steel. The process of mixing Dry powders, Agglomeration, and Drying is carried out in one unit Fluid Bed Dryer.

Fluid bed dryer finds extensive usage in pharmaceutical industries to reduce the moisture content of pharmaceutical granules and powder. It is also known as a fluidized bed dryer. The machine has excellent gas particle constant which enables it to produce a high rate of moisture removal that results in high mass and heat transfer rates.
