Fluid Bed Systems -> The 100XP Fluid Bed

The 100 XP Fluid Bed

Applied Chemical Technology continues to provide new and improved fluid bed technology to industry with the 100 XP Explosion Proof Fluid Bed. The 100XP withstands maximum developed pressures up to 12 bar. The gas stream can be vented or recirculated. A solvent recovery system is optional. Sanitary fittings on the ductwork components allow the unit to be disassembled easily for cleaning.

The 100 XP unit is a multipurpose fluid bed for small scale coating, granulating, and drying applications. It is ideal for process development and for collecting scale-up data for commercial processes. The standard hot oil heater provides a maximum operating temperature of 200°C.
