News > Fluidized Bed Granulation: How to Transform Fine Powders into Stable Granules?
Many raw materials in fine powder form present challenges: low flowability, airborne dispersion, difficult compression, or inconsistent dosing.
Fluidized bed granulation (FBD) offers a modern and efficient solution to transform these powders into uniform and stable granules, ready for use across various industries.
HOW DOES FBD GRANULATION WORK?
In the process, the powder is suspended in hot air inside the fluidized bed. A liquid binder is sprayed onto the particles, promoting agglomeration. The granules are then dried in the same equipment under controlled temperature.
PROCESS ADVANTAGES:
✅ Versatility: Granulation, drying, and even coating in the same system
✅ Size control: Adjustable granule sizes
✅ Thermal efficiency: Fast and even drying
✅ Improved handling: Less dust, better flow, and more precise dosing
✅ Scalability: From lab to industrial scale with excellent reproducibility
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS:
Pharmaceutical industry: Direct compression tablets; controlled drug release
Supplement industry: Granulated vitamins and minerals; better dispersion in capsules or sachets
Fertilizer industry: Coated granules for slow release; reduced volatilization losses
Fluidized bed granulation enables better quality control, easier handling, and improved performance of final products.
