Fluid Bed Processor

Salient Features

  • In compliance with cGMP procedures/ regulations
  • A Single pot technology for mixing, granulating & drying
  • Shorter cycle time resulting in increased productivity
  • PLC controls ensure high degree of process of control parameters ensuring batch-to-batch reproducibility
  • In FBP, the powder particles are fluidized and then granulated by effective top spraying mechanism of binder
  • The FBP ensures reduction in manpower, utility, space etc. Hence there are benefits like less utility consumption, less material handling, reduction in dust level, reduction in product exposure to the environment and operator’s exposure to the product.
  • Most hygienic and minimum cross contamination problem.
  • Broken bag detector ensures no product loss.
  • Basic machine with SS 316 product contact parts & other non-contact parts made of SS 304
  • AHU with electric heaters or steam coil with counter flange. Standard AHU is MS powder coated sheet.
  • Pneumatic bag shaking. A filter bag is used to retain the fines
  • Pneumatic operated inlet damper ON/OFF
  • Pneumatic operated outlet damper 0% to 100% through I/P
  • PLC based operations with 7" color HMI (10” or 12” optional)
  • All Inflatable Seals are transparent silicon. Peristaltic pump with trolley
  • Spray nozzle, all electricals & pneumatics are of reputed brand & solid flow monitor (Broken bag detector)
  • The bottom chamber is uniformly mixed with hot air before allowing it to enter the product container. The container and bottom chamber have suitable flange to fit inflatable silicon seal to achieve leak-proof operation (MOC SS 304)
  • The product container has perforated plate in which there are several holes of equal diameter for uniform distribution of air through the product. The bottom sieve is with Dutch weave sieve acts as product retaining filter.
  • The product container is facilitated with Product bed sensor, sight glass, sampling device. It is mounted on the SS 304 trolley having PU wheel (lockable) for easy & gentle movement
  • The spray and retarding chamber consist of an expansion zone where spray nozzle is fitted and upper portion of the filter housing where filter bag assembly is placed. Multiple Spray ports provided for vertical adjustment of nozzle. Two view glasses provided with light source for observation of spray jet and filter-locking device. Main chamber & product container having flange to fit Inflatable seal to achieve leak proof operation. Explosion duct provided which works as a safety valve for the unit. When pressure increases above 2 bars; the disc opens, and pressure is released to atmosphere. Also, a limit switch will be activated upon opening of explosion disc which shuts down the machine operation
  • The top & bottom filter ring holds the top & bottom end of the filter bag
  • A filter bag shaking cylinder is to shake the filter bag at predetermined intervals to bring back the fines into product container which are deposited in the bag during the process. Shaker pneumatic assembly holds the bag assembly
  • The spray pump with trolley is used to convey the binder solution from tank to the spray nozzle. spray pumps speed adjustment can be done through operating panel or on the spray pump. It is mounted on the separate SS 304 trolley
  • The spray nozzle is used to spray the binder solution into the fluidized bed. For the vertical adjustments of the nozzle, multiple height mountings at spray port are provided in the retarding chamber. (MOC SS 316)
  • The inlet damper is located on the bottom chamber flange and prevents water from entering the inlet duct during washing and prevents suction of air from inlet air handler during suction charging. ON / OFF Type (MOC SS 304)
  • The outlet damper controls airflow depending on product & process requirement with the help of proportionate valve. (MOC SS 304)
  • The airflow through the machine is produced by the blower by creating suction. It is located at the outlet end. The selection of the blower depends on the airflow requirement
  • The inlet & outlet temperature measurement of the air can be set/display through PLC/HMI
  • All pneumatic components are mounted inside the S.S.304 panel and fitted on support column of the machine
