Drying Processing

FLUIDIZED BED DRYING

Fluidized Bed Drying (FBD) is a vital step in the manufacturing of many powders, granules, and crystals. As opposed to traditional methods, FBD offers faster dry times with uniform drying conditions. If properly implemented, FBD provides an ideal solution for the gentle drying of your products. Brimrose NIR spectrometers are the perfect tools for in-line continuous monitoring of Fluidized Bed Dryers and Lyophilization.

FBDs operate by circulating heated air suspending the product and ensuring that each granule is being dried. This process is regulated by the heat of the air, the force of the updraft from the fan, and the time spent in the dryer.

A BETTER METHOD

AOTF-NIR spectroscopy is a non-destructive and rapid test method for determining moisture in a FBD.

  • Monitor drying for Every Batch: The flexible design allows you to move the unit from FBD to FBD.

  • Control Your Drying: Continuous monitoring provides accurate control of your drying process.
