Fluidized bed dryer for drying pharmaceutical powder
Drying is a critical bottleneck in granulation processes, where airflow distribution, heat transfer, and particle movement determine drying time, yield, and product quality.
Reduce drying time and improve uniformity with controlled fluidization
The Gansons Fluidised Bed Dryer is designed to dry powders and granules by suspending particles in a controlled stream of heated air, ensuring uniform contact between air and material. This fluidization enables consistent moisture removal across the entire batch while maintaining product integrity.
The system features a proprietary Cyklon air distribution design that generates a controlled swirl-flow pattern inside the process chamber. This eliminates dead zones and prevents material stagnation, significantly improving drying efficiency while reducing particle attrition and product loss.
The airflow system allows precise control over drying parameters, supported by push-pull fan configuration for stable and reproducible process conditions. This results in shorter drying times and consistent batch outcomes, even for sensitive or high-value materials.
The equipment is designed for pharmaceutical production environments, with cGMP-compliant construction, wash-in-place systems, and options for high-containment processing. Automation systems support recipe control, data integrity, and integration into regulated production workflows.
The system is scalable from development to production, with capacities ranging from approximately 10 L to 1,500 L.
