FLUID BED PROCESSOR FOR GRANULATION
Fluid bed systems were first employed as very efficient dryers, with the application of spray nozzles, rapidly evolved into granulators. Bottom spray granulation, also known as the bottom spray coating technique, allowed for very effective coating. The fluid bed processor was ultimately prepared for the production of pellets as a result of the rotor technology. In the pharmaceutical business, nowadays, no other technology covers such a broad range of procedures in a single system at such a low cost.
Full fluidization is guaranteed with the unique
revolutionary swirl generating method which gives great uniformity of coverage
and high returns to the end product. The major difficulty is how optimal and
uniform granule covering may be achieved. All grains engaged in the process of
coating should have the same coating thickness, irrespective of their size. VJ
Instruments has introduced a new fluid bed processor that offers multiple
processing providing both flexibility and cost benefits.
VJ Instrument’s Fluidized
Bed Processor, a revolutionary dryer and coater, adapted to handle smaller
trial batches of pellets. In addition to handling aqueous as well as organic
film coating systems, it is extremely portable. An advanced control panel helps
you to monitor and record all the settings for the Fluid bed processor.
Components of Fluidized-Bed Processor
1.
Coating Cylinder/Container/Bowl
The coating bowl consists of a central
cylindrical portion fabricated from SS- 316 quality material. A Glass Cylinder
is provided on the upper cylinder to have a view while coating.
2.
Heater
The heater heats the inlet air to
the desired temperature required to dry the pellets. It can be controlled to
deliver the air from ambient to 90 C.
3.
Exhaust Pipe
The exhaust pipe clears the
unwanted fumes and dust generated by core pellets and coating material from the
coating bowl.
4.
Spray Gun
Spray guns are provided which fits
in both top and bottom spray coating. The spray gun delivers droplets for the
coating solution on the pellets. Its superb performance is achieved by the use
of a new range of nozzles made up of SS-316 and metered dozing with the help of
peristaltic pumps. It is easily adjustable along with its standard.
You can achieve droplet size from
50 to 5000 microns depending on the viscosity of the solution. The standard
nozzle size of spray guns is 1 mm while customized sizes are also available as
per the requirement.
5.
Control Panel
4 Inch Touch Screen PLC-based Advanced
control panel offers complete control over the various setting for the coater.
6.
Peristaltic Pump
