Categories: Granulator and Extruder, Fluid Bed Granulator
Combines Mixing, Granulating and Drying for High-Excipient Granulation:
Excipient-rich granulation finds an ideal match in this unit. Excipients in the hopper form a fluidized bed that acts as seeds or carriers, while the main material — typically a liquid extract making up a smaller proportion of the batch — is sprayed from above and merges at the bed's edge for granulation. This method is particularly suited to heat-sensitive materials.
