Multipurpose Fluidized Bed Granulation and Drying Systems
For decades, fluidized bed systems have been utilised for granulation, drying, and coating applications in pharmaceutical tablet production.
Fluidized bed systems for granulation, coating and drying
Today, pharmaceutical tablet production companies can take advantage of L.B. Bohle’s innovative multipurpose fluidized bed solution, which allows granulation, coating and drying to be carried out with a single machine, without additional configuration.
L.B. Bohle’s BFS series of fluidized bed granulator machines features R&D systems for small production quantities as well as production scale systems. The BFS fluid bed granulation systems offer the advantages of the patented tangential spray nozzle technology in achieving a uniform film, whilst saving costs and production floor space.
The BFS fluidized bed systems can also be fitted with a cutting-edge online NIR technology to accurately and reproducibly, measure moisture levels during granulation and drying for optimal results.
Unique design for complete fluidization of particles
The unique Bohle Uni Cone BUC® air distributor plate design facilitates complete fluidization of particles to achieve a uniform film coating without any twins.
Because of the tangential motion of the fluidized particles or granules at low fluidization height, they do not need high-volume expansion and installation height can be reduced to save costs and increase manufacturing floor space.
Advanced features of the BFS Fluidized Bed Granulation Systems
The L.B. Bohle fluidized bed granulation systems benefit from a number of integrated innovative new-gen technologies ensuring:
- Complete fluidization of particles
- Uniform film coating without twin formation
- Low bed installation height for optimal space utilization
- Integration of PAT, NIR and WIP
- Patented filter cleaning – patented diffuser
- Electrical drive filter lowering
- Removable distributor plate
- Pressure surge resistance up to 12 bar for containment applications
