Fluid bed system for granulation and coating
Optimize your production with a multi-purpose fluid bed system designed for efficient granulation, coating, and drying processes, enhancing product quality and process scalability.
Processes Granules and Powders Through Fluid Bed Coating
The FC-MX FLO-COATER® from FREUND is a dynamic fluid bed system engineered to excel in granulation and coating applications. Designed specifically for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and chemical industries, it optimizes fluid bed processing with its multi-purpose capabilities. The system’s scalability from 20L to 1900L suits both pilot and full-production environments, making it ideal for handling a wide range of products, including tablets, capsules, and coated pellets. Equipped with advanced features like the patented Wurster Accelerator System, it reduces process times while ensuring efficient product movement through its tapered expansion chamber. Integration is streamlined through automated control options like the COMPU™ system, and the EcoClean™ technology enhances energy efficiency. Constructed with 12-bar pressure-tested durability, it complies with strict industry standards, including GMP, and offers various material options for chemical resistance. The FC-MX FLO-COATER® provides comprehensive cleaning solutions through self-cleaning filters and inline PAT monitoring, supported by FREUND’s extensive process development and engineering services.
