Reduce drying time and improve uniformity with controlled fluidization

The Gansons Fluidised Bed Dryer is designed to dry powders and granules by suspending particles in a controlled stream of heated air, ensuring uniform contact between air and material. This fluidization enables consistent moisture removal across the entire batch while maintaining product integrity.

The system features a proprietary Cyklon air distribution design that generates a controlled swirl-flow pattern inside the process chamber. This eliminates dead zones and prevents material stagnation, significantly improving drying efficiency while reducing particle attrition and product loss.

The airflow system allows precise control over drying parameters, supported by push-pull fan configuration for stable and reproducible process conditions. This results in shorter drying times and consistent batch outcomes, even for sensitive or high-value materials.

The equipment is designed for pharmaceutical production environments, with cGMP-compliant construction, wash-in-place systems, and options for high-containment processing. Automation systems support recipe control, data integrity, and integration into regulated production workflows.

The system is scalable from development to production, with capacities ranging from approximately 10 L to 1,500 L.

]]> A mixing & fluid bed granulation system is the combination of a fluid bed dryer and a high Impact mixer. If you have a high-capacity continuous powder process where you need to mix various powders with liquids, agglomerate and then dry the granules, such a combined system may be the best way to go.

Continuous mixing, agglomerating, drying and cooling

The Schugi® Flexomix agglomeration system is a combination of two proven Hosokawa Micron technologies: the Flexomix continuous mixer and agglomerator, and the Schugi® fluid bed dryer and cooler. This combined design provides optimal process control and makes this combination the ultimate powder processing solution. The system is controlled using a state-of-the-art integrated control system based on PLC and SCADA systems. It produces instant agglomerates with an open, raspberry-like structure, good solubility and good flow characteristics. Moreover, it has been designed as a stationary unit without any moving parts making it perfect for scaling up to almost any size. The system is suited for powders, granules, agglomerates, and pellets. Often used in the food industry, pharmaceutical and chemistry.
