Fluid Bed Granulator cum Coater
ACMEFIL Fluid Bed processing includes Drying as well as granulation, agglomeration and coating of particulate materials.
It is designed to uniform drying of the material at low temperature and is ideal for a wide range of both heat sensitive and non-heat sensitive prodcts for low moist powder.
In case of fluid bed coater cum granulator, agglomeration and granulation may be performed in a number of ways depending upon the feed to be processed and the product properties to be achieved.
Fluid bed coating of powders, granules involves the spraying of a liquid on the fluidised powder under strictly controlled conditions. We offer fluid bed drying system made up of S.S.304 / S.S. 316 with GMP standards. The complete unit is supplied with suitable motor, blower, filters, filter bag, & control panel. Heating system will be provided as per customer requirement i.e. Steam / Electric Heating system and any other.

General FAQ
A fluidised bed coater is a machine used for coating particles, like granules, seeds, or tablets, with a layer of material. It works by suspending and fluidising the particles in a stream of air within a chamber. As they float and move around, a coating solution is sprayed onto them. The air flow helps to dry the coating quickly and evenly, ensuring each particle is uniformly coated. This technique is popular in industries like pharmaceuticals, food processing, and agriculture for coating pills, candies, seeds, etc.
The principle of a fluid bed granulator involves using a stream of hot air to suspend and agitate particles, while a liquid binder is sprayed onto them. This causes the particles to stick together and form granules. The air also helps to dry the granules simultaneously. This process is efficient for creating uniformly sized and well-formed granules, commonly used in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
The different types of fluid bed granulation are:
- Top Spray Granulation: Binder solution is sprayed from above on fluidized particles.
- Bottom Spray Granulation (Wurster Coating): Binder is sprayed from below, causing particles to grow in a controlled manner.
- Tangential Spray (Rotor Granulation): The binder is sprayed tangentially, combining centrifugal force with fluidization for granule formation.
