This is a steam-heated Fluidbed Dryer which is suitable for processing batches between 50 and 150 kg depending on the characteristics of the product. The Dryer comprises a Stainless Steel Filter Housing with retractable Product Container. The base of the container is fitted with a Stainless Steel wire-mesh.
Product to be processed is placed into the Product Container which is then positioned underneath the filter housing. The filled container is placed into the opening at the base of the column and pushed upwards by a pneumatic ram. It closes against a seal at the base of the column thus forming a closed system. Air is now drawn through this system by fan – ambient air is sucked in and through a Heating Register, through the perforated base of the product container and into the product which is dispersed and thoroughly dried within the Filter Housing.
A special Filter is fitted above the product container inside the column and this prevents product particles to be sucked out of the column. During this process, the air supply is interrupted. An air exhaust duct is mounted
At the end of the drying process, the product container is released and pulled out of the column for ease of disposal.
The operator controls are located in a separate console and include temperature controls and process timers.

FLUID BED PROCESSOR
The plant is an all-round production machine ad is suitable for:
• Fluid Bed Drying (all sorts of fluidized products)
• Spray Granulation (all kind of powdery products) via top spray procedure
• Coating of micro fine products as well as pellets via top spray procedure
• Coating of micro fine products as well as pellets via bottom spray procedure
The Fluid Bed Unit is designed to be integrated is a wall between production and technical areas and is executed to achieve the highest levels of GMO which requires a radical separation between production equipment and peripheral mechanical and electro-pneumatic equipment. In the proposed execution only the Fluid Bed Apparatus and the membrane operator panel are in the process area.
Through-The-Wall-Design (TTW)
Clear separation between production area and technical area
Substantial reduction in GMP space needed
No maintenance interventions needed in production area

A. Drying in the fluid bed
A batch of fluidized wet materials is put into fluidization through an upward movement of heated air during which the whole surface of the particular product particles are in contact with the hot air. Each particle/granule in uniformly dried to low final moisture content. This is achieved as a result of an even temperature profile throughout the powder bed.
B. Agglomeration in the fluid bed
If a starting production product, consisting of fine powder or core sized particles has to be transformed/changed into a homogeneous rough sized granule it can also be done in a Fluid Bed. The appropriate liquid is sprayed onto product particles which are floating in the airflow, this produces an agglomeration of the particles. The adherence of particles can be achieved by etching the particle surface dissolved in spray liquid. The agglomerates formed are fixed by the drying process.
C. Coating in the fluid bed (predisposition for the future use)
If individual particles of a product require coating to modify the characteristics and/or provide a protective membrane, the process is similar to that of fluidised bed spray agglomeration. The coating media is dissolved/dispersed/suspended in an appropriate carrier liquid and sprayed onto the fluidized particles. The process can be with top spray with the latter generally used for processing dense and large particles.

For high shear pelletization, a special mixing tool is available to optimize the process and maximise the output.
Wet Pelletizing: This process uses a rotary atomizer spray to achieve excellent dispersion of binder liquid through the mix, and a special high-speed rotation blade for maximum movement of the product, for more efficient pelletization. A PTFE container-lining minimizes the need for ‘top and tailing’, even with the most cohesive of products. Studies have shown that the PTFE liner, unique to GEA can increase production efficiency by as much as 40%. Alternatively, an extruder may be used, similar to those used for the manufacture of pellets. In a typical set-up all ingredients are pre-blended in a container after dispensing. Depending on the extruder design the liquid can be added in the extruder or mixed separately to the correct consistency. The material produced by the extruder is now transferred directly into a continuous fluid bed where it is dried to the desired moisture level.
Melt Pelletizing: This is an exceptionally fast method of producing pellets in a single step. The active material and binder are mixed in binder form then heated until the binder melts. A single batch is processed typically in just 15-20 minutes, and needs no further drying.

Noise level:
The sound pressure level (SPL) in the vicinity of the atomiser depends on:
- turbine speed
- load of the atomiser
- type and size of the motor
- the environment surrounding the mistblower.
Under normal operating conditions, the SPL at a distance of 1 metre from the FX1 mistblower is measured at 84 dB(A). This value, however, should be regarded as indicative. A variation up to a maximum of 5 dB(A) or more may be found under the above circumstances.
If the sprayer is fitted with a silencer, the sound pressure level (SPL) is measured at 70 dB(A) at a distance of 1 metre.
