Abstract

This article also discusses the demonstration of a fluidized bed dryer, its principles, application, and other processing. This has led to the development of technology, processes, and equipment that not only reduce time but also increase output. A fluidized bed dryer significantly reduces drying time compared with a vacuum dryer or tray dryer. In the pharmaceutical industry, fluidized bed dryers are typically used for pellet drying, coating, andgranulation. Fluidized bed drying is very well known to yield high heat and mass transfer and is hence adopted in many industrial drying processes, particularly pharmacy products. In this paper, we show the construction and working of the fluidized bed dryer. It works on the drying principle. It has several advantages and disadvantages.
