Fluid Bed Dryer (FBD) / Fluidized Bed Dryer for Pharmaceutical Industry

A fluid bed dryer (FBD) is a high-efficiency drying system designed to handle heat-sensitive materials at relatively low temperatures. Using the principle of fluidization, it provides excellent thermal efficiency and uniform drying throughout the batch.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, powders often lack proper flowability, uniformity, and packing density, making them unsuitable for downstream processing. Granulation helps overcome these limitations by converting fine powders into larger, uniform, and free-flowing granules. Fluid bed dryers play a crucial role in this process. When combined with a granulation system, an FBD can perform multiple operations—such as drying, mixing, granulation, finishing, and cooling—within a single integrated setup. Because of its efficiency and consistent output quality, fluid bed drying technology is rapidly replacing conventional tray drying methods in the pharmaceutical industry.

Fluid bed drying significantly reduces processing time while ensuring uniform drying conditions across all particles. The system allows precise control of inlet air temperature and airflow, ensuring optimal moisture removal from the granule surface without overheating the material. FBDs are highly versatile and can be used to dry a wide range of materials, including pharmaceutical granules, fertilizers, powders, plastics, food products, and tablets.
