Description

Product details

The Lab Model Fluid Bed Dryer is a compact, high-performance thermal processing unit meticulously designed for small-batch drying, formulation development, and process optimization in laboratory and pilot-scale environments. Leveraging the principles of gas-solid fluidization, this system suspends fine particles in a precisely calibrated vertical airflow, enabling rapid heat and mass transfer for uniform moisture removal without compromising material integrity. Engineered for granular, crystalline, and powdered materials, the unit features a miniaturized fluidization chamber with a perforated air distributor plate, delivering laminar-to-turbulent airflow transition for optimal drying dynamics. The housing is constructed from pharmaceutical-grade SS316L, with mirror-polished interiors (Ra ≤ 0.6 µm), ensuring hygienic operation and full GMP compliance. Key Technical Features: HEPA-filtered inlet air system with precision thermal regulation PID-controlled heating unit for accurate inlet temperature profiling Interchangeable product bowls for variable batch volumes (50 g to 1 kg) Integrated moisture monitoring port and sample retrieval valve Advanced touchscreen HMI with real-time process visualization and data logging Built-in exhaust filter shakers to maintain airflow consistency This lab-scale FBD is instrumental for drying kinetics studies, formulation trials, and scaling up to production, offering a highly reproducible platform for pharmaceutical R&D, chemical analysis, food science, and academic research.
