Airflow in Batch Fluid-Bed Processing

Fluid Bed Granulation Articles

Dilip M. Parikh, Niro Inc Significant amounts of solid materials are processed using fluid-bed technology. Suspension and movement of particles in an airstream maximizes the exposure of particle surfaces to air or gas, producing efficient evaporation. The primary factor influencing a fluidized-bed process is airflow. To understand and manipulate processing in a fluid bed, it is important to learn how airflow is generated, conditioned, and distributed through the bed during drying, agglomerating, and coating. This article describes how uncommon pressure drops and related processing problems can be identified and rectified by studying the airflow of the system

The Role has altered more towards knowledge of the product, and interaction with the patient — so more focus on treatment rather than just the dispensing and the preparation of the product. "The role manifests itself is with more patient contact and more patient counseling, greater involvement in disease state management, greater involvement in assisting patients with managing their disease states and serving a greater information source role for the patient." Advances in pharmaceuticals have also played a part.
