Fluid-bed drying and granulation system
Optimize your production line with high-speed batch processing for efficiently drying and granulating powders and granules, essential for precise formulation of capsules and tablets.

Processes and Dries Granules and Powders Efficiently
The FBE 1300 from ACG offers pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers a versatile and reliable fluid bed granulation and drying solution. Designed for batch processing, it facilitates both drying and top-spray granulation with a working capacity of up to 1,300 liters, making it suitable for large-scale production of granules, tablets, and capsules. Its precisely calculated vent and state-of-the-art filter bag shaking system ensures safety and operational efficiency, reducing compressed air consumption while enhancing filtration capacity. The system supports seamless integration into existing production lines with customizable charging, discharging, and wash-in-place options. Compliant with 21 CFR part 11, it provides an audit-friendly environment for regulatory adherence. Crafted from durable materials, it offers robust corrosion resistance and is equipped with an automated PLC control system for effortless process management.
