Fluid bed combo for top-spray granulation and wurster coating
Optimize your batch processing with a versatile system capable of granulation, drying, and coating, tailored for efficient handling of powders and granules in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

Processes Granulation, Drying, and Coating in One Unit
The FBE 250C, part of ACG’s fluid bed combo series, is designed to address your pharmaceutical and nutraceutical processing needs by combining granulation, drying, and coating processes into one efficient system. Its innovative integration of top-spray and Wurster coating technology enables versatile applications, including the production of tablets, capsules, and powders. With a working capacity of up to 250 liters per batch, it supports various production scales. The machine’s PLC-controlled operations ensure precise process adjustments and seamless integration into production lines. Featuring a state-of-the-art twin-chamber filter bag shaking system, it provides continuous fluidization and reduces compressed air consumption. Constructed with multiple air distribution options and available in corrosion-resistant materials, it meets the rigorous standards of GMP and FDA compliance. Customizable features, including charging, discharging, and wash-in-place systems, coupled with ACG’s engineering support, make it an adaptable choice for diverse manufacturing environments.
