Short Intro Paragraph (for hero):

Our Fluid Bed Dryer (FBD) is designed to deliver fast, uniform, and gentle drying of pharmaceutical powders and granules. Using the principle of fluidization, hot filtered air passes through a perforated bed, suspending and drying each particle evenly. The result is shorter drying time, consistent moisture content, and trouble-free downstream compression and encapsulation. Pharma Guideline+1

3. Section: Working Principle & Process

Title: Working Principle of Fluid Bed Dryer

Content:

The fluid bed dryer works on the principle of fluidization, where a bed of solid particles is converted into a fluid-like state by an upward flow of air or gas. General Kinematics+1

Process Steps (can be an icon row):

1. Charging:
   Wet granules or powders are loaded into the product container with a perforated bottom plate.
2. Fluidization:
   Conditioned hot air is blown from below through the perforated plate. At a specific velocity, the particles lift and behave like a boiling fluidized bed. Pharma Guideline+1
3. Heat & Mass Transfer:
   Each particle is surrounded by hot air, ensuring rapid and uniform moisture removal without hot spots. www.slideshare.net+1
4. Drying End-Point:
   Outlet air temperature and product temperature are monitored until target residual moisture is achieved.
5. Discharge:
   After drying, the batch is discharged by lowering the bowl or via automated systems to IBC / container for further processing.

Key advantage: Drying time is significantly lower than conventional tray dryers, often by a factor of around 10–20, depending on product and load. Glatt – Integrated Process Solutions

9. FAQ Section

Q1. What is a fluid bed dryer and where is it used?
A fluid bed dryer (FBD) is process equipment used to reduce moisture content of powders and granules by suspending them in a stream of hot air (fluidization). It is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and allied industries. Anish Pharma+1

Q2. What are the advantages over tray drying?

• Much shorter drying time
• Better uniformity of drying and moisture distribution
• Gentle handling and lower risk of product degradation
• Automated and scalable operation www.slideshare.net+1

Q3. Can your FBD handle heat-sensitive materials?
Yes. Drying temperature and inlet air conditions are precisely controlled, making FBD suitable for many heat-sensitive products when parameters are correctly set. acecentrifuges.com+1

Q4. What about cleaning and cross-contamination?
Our designs follow cGMP with smooth, crevice-free contact surfaces and can be supplied with WIP/CIP systems, validated cleaning procedures, and appropriate documentation.

Q5. Do you offer validation & documentation support?
Yes, we can provide DQ/IQ/OQ protocols, FAT/SAT documentation, and material test certificates as per your QA requirements.
