Fluid bed granulator for pharmaceutical applications
Optimize your granulation and drying processes with advanced fluid-bed technology, ensuring precise control and enhanced efficiency for high-speed batch operations in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production lines.
Granulates and Dries Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Materials
The FBE 1800 X•ONE from ACG is a sophisticated fluid-bed system designed for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical processing. This unit excels in granulating and drying tasks with precision, making it ideal for producing effervescent tablets, dietary supplements, and other high-quality granules and powders. The FBE 1800 X•ONE operates with a working volume range from 525 to 1,956 liters, and effectively handles batches up to 1,800 liters, meeting high throughput demands. Equipped with the MOST™ (Maximum Operator Safety Technology) concept, it ensures safe and efficient operation with 12-bar pressure-shock resistance. Compliance with ATEX, GAMP 5, and 21 CFR Part 11 highlights its suitability for critical applications. Tailored for seamless integration, it features customized charging, discharging, and wash-in-place (WIP) systems, ensuring quick changeovers and maintaining production uptime. The non-vented, fully contained design minimizes environmental risk, while the unique C-flanges and X•ONE inflatable seals provide additional safety during processing.
