Intermediate-scale fluid bed system for drying and granulation
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing, achieving consistent drying and granulation while ensuring operator safety is a primary challenge. This is particularly true when scaling up processes and conducting design of experiments (DoE) studies, which require versatile and reliable equipment.
Supports drying, granulation, and coating processes
The QUEST FB III X•ONE by ACG World is a versatile fluid bed system designed for intermediate-scale applications. It is equipped to handle multiple processes including drying, wet granulation, Wurster coating, top-spray, tangential-spray, and rotor granulation. The system incorporates advanced safety features such as a 12-bar pressure shock-resistant design and unique C-flanged inflatable seals that resist deformation even at low pressures. The twin-filter bag-shaking system effectively removes sticky materials, enhancing filter performance and yield. The integrated X•ONE command process control system complies with ATEX, GAMP 5, and 21 CFR Part 11, offering secure and intuitive control. This equipment is well-suited for both commercial-scale and developmental applications, thanks to its robust design and scalability.
