3. Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD)
• FBD is used for drying of different
pharmaceutical materials or products
& it can easily achieve specific
moisture content in granules &
powders.
• FBD is able to remove excess moisture
from different materials & its working
principle is so precise & focused on
drying the materials without changing
their physical attributes.
