R&D Lab Fluid Bed Dryer Machine


Lodha International LLP is a leading manufacturer of the R&D Lab Fluid Bed Dryer Machine. This proficient equipment offers exceptional productivity and product uniformity, combining drying and granulation processes in a single step. Using high-pressure air to atomize liquid binders, the machine forms binder droplets within a fluidized bed, bridging discrete particles to increase granule size. This method is ideal for industries requiring porous and easily soluble granules, such as the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing sectors worldwide.

The lab fluid bed dryer features advanced capabilities including high-retention polyester filter cartridges, which are cleaned using compressed air counterblows during operation for continuous efficiency. It offers easy maintenance with quick disassembly of filters, alongside features like sample thief, inspection windows, and probes for inlet air and product temperature monitoring. Controlled by a PLC and touch screen panel, the machine’s intelligent process management, safety interlocks, and compatibility with SCADA systems, meeting stringent regulatory requirements.

Process Operation of R&D Lab Fluid Bed Dryer Machine


The material is initially fed onto a shaking steel bed, where hot air flows through. The high-pressure hot air fluidized the material bed by contacting each particle, delivering efficient drying and granulation. Airflow control throughout the dryer maximizes fluidization to handle various materials, including wet and sticky substances. As the material passes through, it gradually loses moisture until reaching the desired dryness level. Subsequently, the material moves into a cooling zone where cool air replaces hot air, reducing the temperature to the required level for further processing. This operational method has precise control over drying and granulation processes, making the R&D lab fluid bed dryer machine indispensable for research and development environments seeking reliable and efficient production capabilities.
