Fluid-bed granulator for top-spray applications
Need precise granulation and drying for sensitive materials? This fluid-bed system ensures uniform particle size and optimal moisture levels, crucial for producing high-quality tablets and capsules in your batch operations.
Processes Granules and Powders through Granulation and Drying
The FBE 125 X•ONE from ACG is a state-of-the-art fluid-bed system designed to meet the demanding needs of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. It excels in granulation and drying processes by incorporating a 12-bar pressure-shock-resistant system with the MOST™ safety concept, FSA-approved in Germany and ATEX-compliant. This ensures operational safety with no mechanical deformation from pressure shock, allowing rapid resumption of production activities.
This system is ideal for producing tablets, capsules, and a variety of powdered supplements, effectively managing batches up to 125 liters. It features X•ONE inflatable seals, providing safety at low pressures, and Quick Action Stop Valves (QASV) to contain explosions within 20 milliseconds. The integration of ACG’s exclusive X•ONE command process control system supports intuitive and secure monitoring, ensuring compliance with GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11 standards.
The FBE 125 X•ONE includes customizable charging and discharging options, which enhance efficiency and minimize changeover times. The machine is also designed with WIP (wash-in-place) systems for granulation trains, reducing downtime and maintaining contamination-free operations. With its ability to process high-speed batches, this equipment provides a reliable solution for manufacturers seeking precision and safety in granulation and drying processes.
