Many conventional fluid bed dryers use a perforated plate with a wire mesh below it. One of the critical issues of using this technology is that the perforated plate and wire mesh sit so close together that powder and granules get trapped between them. This not only increases product loss, but also increases cleaning time and contamination risks.

Both wet granulation and dry granulation exist to address the same fundamental challenge: raw pharmaceutical powder cannot be reliably compressed into a tablet in its original form. But what differentiates them?

A clear, step-by-step guide to how a pharmaceutical granulation line works: from raw powder to press-ready granules.

Both the High-Shear Mixer Granulator and Fluid Bed Dryer determine tablet quality. Learn why both machines must perform equally and what happens when one falls short.

Uneven granule drying is one of the most common fluid bed dryer problems in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Here is what causes it and how the Bottom Plate STV Disk Jet eliminates it.
