Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FBD (Fluid Bed Dryer) and FBP (Fluid Bed Processor)?
The FBD/FBP is a dual-function equipment that performs both traditional drying and specialized processing tasks. As a dryer (FBD mode), it removes moisture from wet granules. As a processor (FBP mode), it can handle granulation, cooling, and other processing operations, providing complete production flexibility within a single unit.
How does the FBD/FBP reduce equipment costs?
By combining drying and processing functions in one machine, the FBD/FBP eliminates the need to purchase separate equipment for each operation. This reduces capital investment by 40-50% while improving facility space utilization and increasing equipment utilization from 1x to 2-3x.
What processing modes does the FBD/FBP support?
The FBD/FBP supports multiple processing modes including traditional drying, granulation processing, cooling operations, and specialized processing tasks. The three-level pneumatic system and manual controls enable switching between modes without equipment changes.
