Fluid Bed Coater


Kalptaru's KFBPC Series Fluid Bed Granulators and Coaters have multi-functional systems. The top spray system is the third generation of the top spray granulator. It is more efficient than most common fluid bed granulators in the industry. This type of advanced series equipment integrates three fluid bed processes including the top-spray granulating, bottom spray Pallet coating, and drier such that it achieves both economical and technological advantages in solid dose processing and other applications. The Kalptaru's Fluid Bed Processor & Coater GMP Model offers an effective and efficient method for drying, granulating, coating and agglomerating. It is invented keeping in mind the latest GMP norms with all contact parts AISI 316 Quality. By using modular construction and simplified design, we provide flexible installation. The Machine is vertical type, Steam Heated and Electric Heated, Electrical controls Auto Mode, Arrangement for spraying an active ingredient on to the carrier bed for top spraying, Explosion proof and suitable for efficient accurate and uniform drying wet granulated pharmaceutical solid powder at lower temperature.
