Fluid Bed Granulation
Fluid bed granulation is a cornerstone process in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food manufacturing—engineered to transform fine, poorly flowing powders into uniform, free-flowing granules. By suspending powder particles in a vertical stream of heated air (fluidization), the process sprays a liquid binder to agglomerate particles into cohesive granules, enhancing flowability, compressibility, and stability. This technology adapts to diverse production scales: lab-scale units (5–50L batch capacity) for R&D and clinical trials, pilot-scale systems (50–200L) for process validation, and industrial-scale machines (200–2,000L+) for high-volume manufacturing. Compliant with GMP, FDA, and EMA standards, it ensures consistent granule size (100–1,000μm), moisture control (≤2% residual moisture), and uniform distribution of active ingredients (APIs) or nutrients—critical for downstream processes like tableting, capsule filling, or sachet packaging.
Beyond granule formation, fluid bed granulation delivers transformative value by streamlining workflows and solving key manufacturing pain points. Unlike traditional wet granulation (e.g., high-shear mixing), it integrates drying into a single step, reducing processing time by 30–50% and minimizing energy consumption. The process accommodates a wide range of formulations: from pharmaceutical APIs and vitamin blends to food ingredients (e.g., coffee, dairy powders) and herbal extracts, with adjustable air temperature, binder spray rate, and fluidization velocity to optimize granule properties. Advanced systems feature PLC controls for recipe storage (50+ formulations), real-time process monitoring (moisture, particle size), and automated cleaning (CIP) to reduce cross-contamination risks. By improving powder flow and compressibility, it lowers tablet/capsule rejection rates (≤2%) and enhances product shelf life—making it the preferred choice for manufacturers prioritizing efficiency, compliance, and consistent quality across batch runs.
