Flow Chart

Unopex Fluid Bed Dryer Flowchart

Drying

The product particles are fluidized by means of an upward flowing hot air stream and are carefully dried until the required moisture content is reached.

Granulation/Agglomeration

The aim in granulation/agglomeration is to produce a dust-free and flowable granulate from powder.

Wurster Coating

The Wurster (bottom-spraying) technique produces a particularly uniform surface on the coated product.

Spray Nozzle

The spray liquid is injected into the fluid bed via a spray nozzle attached to the spray housing.
