Dryer and it’s capabilities:

It was initially used as a drying system with spray nozzles, but the fluid bed dryer systems quickly evolved into granulators. Using bottom spray granulation, also referred to as bottom spray coating, it was possible to achieve a high level of coating efficiency. Because of the rotor technology, the fluid bed Dryer was able to produce pellets. There is currently no other technology in the pharmaceutical industry that offers such a wide range of capabilities in a single system at such a low cost.

With the unique revolutionary swirl generating method, full fluidization is guaranteed, ensuring uniform coverage and high product returns. The most difficult part is determining the best way to cover the granules uniformly. The coating thickness should be the same for all grains involved in the coating process, regardless of their size. A new fluid bed Dryer from VJ Instruments offers multiple processing options for greater adaptability and lower costs.

The Fluid Bed Dryer granulator from VJ Instruments, a revolutionary dryer and coater, has been scaled down to handle smaller trial batches of pellets. Additionally, it can work with both aqueous and organic film coating systems. The Fluid bed Dryer has an advanced control panel that allows you to monitor and record all of the settings.

One method of coating cylinders, containers, and bowls

SS-316 quality material is used to construct the coating bowl's central cylindrical portion. The upper cylinder has a Glass Cylinder that can be used to watch the coating process.

2. Heater

Heating the inlet air to the desired temperature ensures that the pellets can be dried to their desired consistency. It is capable of delivering air with a temperature range of 0 C to 90 C.

3. Pipe for Exhaust

In order to keep the coating bowl clean, the exhaust pipe removes the core pellets and coating material's unwanted fumes and dust.

4. Spray Gun

Spray guns that can be used for both top and bottom coatings are provided. Spraying the pellets with a coating solution is done with a spray gun. Peristaltic pumps and a new line of SS-316 nozzles are used to achieve the high performance of this system. Its standard and adjustment are both simple.

Rapid dryer Depending on the solution's viscosity, you can get droplet sizes ranging from 50 microns to 5000 microns. Spray guns typically have nozzles with a diameter of one millimetre, but custom sizes can be made to meet specific needs.

5. Infrared Thermostat

A silicon pipe connects the peristaltic pump to the spray gun, which then disperses the solution to the precise concentration desired.
