1.5 SUMMARY:
Put the powder material to be granulated into the fluid-bed granulator coater. The cold air is drawn
into the fluid bed through the pre filters and passes through the heating chamber behind the main
machine, heated to the desired temperature by the heater. The powder is fluidized in the fluid bed.
The adhesive for granulating is delivered to the nozzle by the liquid pump, which is sprayed to the
fluidized material after being sheared into droplets by air. The wetting powder grows by formation
of liquid bridges and then coalesce into larger agglomerate. The evaporating moisture is drawn out
by the fan.

The granulator is make up of inlet air filter，heater、main machine，fan、silencer、electric control

etc.

4.2 Structure and principle
4.2.1 Structure: This machine is made up of air filter, foundation, fluid-bed （exchange among the
three ） , spraying chamber, filter chamber, exhaust tube, draught fan, silencer, control cabinet,
adhesive, feeder, the magnetic-force stir etc.
4.2.1.1 Main machine: made up of bottom tower, fluid-bed, spraying chamber, filter chamber

The working room (fluidized bed, intermediate spraying chamber) is designed in upside-down-cone
form and becomes larger along the axial section area. It is beneficial to powder’s dropping and
avoids laminating. There is a little powder when granulating.
，it can keep even when coating.
4.2.1.2 Air filter: It is pre-filter.
4.2.1.3 It is composed of air exhaust pipe, draught fan and silencer. The draught fan is installed
separately from main machine with noise ≤75 db. The state of fluidization can be continuously
adjusted.
4.2.1.4 liquid-support system: it is made up the magnetic-force stir of and the pump. the adhesive
and coating-liquid are stirred so as to lower adhesive and improve the coating efficiency.
4.2.1.5 the "jimu" fluid bed: the FLP-1.5 model has the special features that the "jimu" fluid bed is
exchanged and all the parts are shared except the material-container. so the model is very suitable
for colleges and the development of new medicines.
4.2.1.6"top-spraying" fluid bed: the standardized material-container is used for drying and
granulating.
4.2.1.7"buttom-spraying" fluid bed: in the middle of the spring-style fluid bed there is leading-
direction pipe. the fluidization is regular. and it is suitable for coating with granules, powder.
4.2.1.8“Turbojet fluid-bed” The liquid-supporting pump transports the binder. And then sprayed into the
fluidization powder-material after being atomized through the nozzle. The powder gets together and grows up
after being dried. Finally the needed granules can be reached.

4.2.2 Principle：Put the powder material to be granulated into the fluid bed. The cold air is drawn
into the fluid bed through the pre, medium and final filters and passes through the heating chamber
behind the main machine, heated to the desired temperature by the heater. The powder is fluidized
in the fluid bed. The adhesive for granulating is delivered to the nozzle by the liquid pump, which is
sprayed to the fluidized material after being sheared into droplets by air. The wetting powder grows
by formation of liquid bridges and then coalesce into larger agglomerate or the film is made onto
material which is be coated. The evaporating moisture is drawn out by the fan.

4.3 Operation
4.3.1 Preparation before Operation
1) Power on and check that the power supply meter and voltmeter indicate well.
2) Check that the display of air-intake meter is correct and set up the inlet temperature according to
the material and process.
4.3.2 Starting Up
1）Feed the material in fluidized bed.
2) Start up the draught fan and adjust the air volume to the fluidized bed. Put the material container
in the bottom plate and make it contact the sensor.
3) Preheat the material. When it reaches the temperature of about 450C, start spraying liquid.
4) Regulate the spraying temperature and observe that cloth bag shakes normally.
4.3.3 Shutting Down
After operation, close down power supply and air supply.
4.3.4 Finishing Operation
1) Manually operate and shake the cloth bag.
2) Clean up the machine, discharge components such as fluidized screen plate and cloth bag and
clean them up. It should be required to clean the granulating chamber 、 tangential spraying
granulating coating bed and bottom spraying coating bed and dry the chamber with clear air or dry
naturally.
3)Clean up the outside of machine and the site of production and recover it in ready state.
4.3.5 Safety Operation
1) Make the thorough inspection for materials and the machine and check that all parts are fastened.
2) Check them before operation.
3) If there is the abnormal noise in machine, it should be shut down for check. The machine is not
started again until solved.

4.7.2Trentment of common trouble
Common trouble
1、The state of fluid-bed is
no good.
2 ． There is much fine
powder in exhaust air
3 ． There is much gap and
dead area in fluid-bed.
4．There is the phenomena
of blocked in fluid-bed.
5 、 particles are not even
Possible reason
（ 1 ） ． Filter no shaking for a long
time. much powder is adhered in the
cloth bag
（ 2 ） ． Fluidization height is too
excessive, the negative pressure is high
in bed
（1）．Filter bag cracking
（ 2 ）． Negative pressure is too high
to exhaust fine powder.
（ 1 ） ． The moisture of particles is
too high.
（ 2 ） ． Wet particle is out of time in
container.
（ 1 ） ． Some wet particles are
disabled in container.
（ 2 ） ． Operation of filter bag is too
long.
（1 ）．Check the opening of nozzle,
there is the phenomena of trickle.
（ 2 ）． Pressure of compressed air is
lower.
Methods to solve
（ 1 ） ． Check filter bag, shaking
it.
（2）turn down the flap. Shake the
filter bag.
（1）．Check that there is not any
broken opening in filter bag, if a
small bole exists, it should be
repaired or the filter bag should be
replaced.
（2）．Regulate the flap
（ 1 ） ． Lower the degree of
humidity of particles. （2）do
not put enough wet particles
first, put them after drying
slightly
（1）．The wet particles does not
be putted in too long ．
（ 2 ） ． before starting,
the manual action of flap
to open and close should
be done for several times,
note the rhythm of
cylinder strong movement
in fluid-bed , shake the
particles, avoid the gap.
