Requirements Specification.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Fluid Bed systems vary in function and purpose. There are several uses of Fluid
Bed systems, such as:
Drying
Agglomeration
Bead Forming
Adding Active Drug Ingredients
Flavor Masking
Time Release
Making Product Easier to Flow
Making Product Easier to form into tablets
These systems range from simple systems that act as a drier column to those
with sophisticated controls and devices that protect against explosions, provide
metered sprays, rotors for bead forming and Wuster columns for more effective
coating of various substances.
Aqueous systems typically have less complexity, with less of a need to protect
against vapors. Solvent based systems employ more instrumentation and
controls required primarily for safety reasons (explosion protection). Systems
that spray actives, protective or timed release components onto the product
require more sophistication to guarantee the proper amount has been added to
the product.
The term Fluid Bed is used because air is forced up underneath the powders
or products in the product chamber. The resultant appearance is much like the
surface of water being disturbed by waves, hence the term fluidization of the
product. This action can be gentle or quite high and focused, depending upon
the needs of the process.

Page 6 of 29
September 2003
Fluid Beds inherently create explosive environments within their chambers.

Dry powders can ignite with sparks created by electrostatic discharges that
naturally occur within moving air and powder masses. Therefore, most Fluid
Beds have explosion vents that are designed to dissipate the pressure waves
created by explosions to a safe area before the pressure becomes too great for
containment. Some processes require total containment of the system (those
which deal with highly active pharmaceutical and/or chemical products that are
dangerous if not contained). For those systems, closed loop nitrogen purging
may be necessary to reduce the possibility of explosion, or a total containment
system with construction robust enough to contain the explosion (10 Bar
construction) may be used.
Filtration of the supply air to the fluid bed dryer using pre-filters and HEPA
filters is required to ensure only clean air comes in contact with the product.
These filter systems are located in the supply air unit along with the heating and
cooling coils, supply fan and humidification system if required. This unit can
be located in a technical area separate from the fluid bed dryer, which will be
located in a cGMP area.
In cases where there are highly reactive products used in the machine,
containment of waste materials from filtering, cleaning and processing must be
addressed, with proper handling to prevent contamination of the environment
and operators.
Filtration of the air in the fluid bed serves two purposes: to prevent loss of
product up the stack, and to protect the external environment from
contamination. The two most popular methods of filtering are bag systems (a
system of cloth mesh suspended from the filter chamber and shaken periodically
to dislodge powders) and cartridge filters of various constructions (metal mesh
or polyester type cloth, etc.). Some processes, such as bead formation, may not
require filtration at the fluid bed at all.
Filtration of the air exiting the fluid bed after the filter chamber is usually done
to prevent contamination of the local environment. Such systems can involve:
o Dust Collectors
o Scrubbers
o Incinerators (thermal oxidizers that literally burn the contaminants
away)
o HEPA systems with bag-in, bag-out feature for operator exposure
protection
o Closed loop recovery systems (Design to recycle and/or capture the
fluids and products for disposal or possible re-use)

Page 7 of 29
September 2003
Charging (loading of product to the fluid bed) can be as simple as dumping

product into the product container or as sophisticated as a totally contained
vacuum system.
Similarly, discharging can also be as simple as dumping the product into

awaiting barrels to vacuum discharging of product to other systems for further
processing. While not part of the actual process of fluidizing, charging and
discharging are integral to the machines safe operation and may affect product
quality, batch yields and integrity if not properly considered and carried out.
Lastly, the utilities and space involved needs to be discussed prior to purchasing
the equipment. Obviously, the actual equipment size is but a small part of the
entire scope of work necessary to implement a larger fluid bed operation. Small
fluid beds can be self-contained, depending upon the application. The unit and
its support equipment must be able to be installed in current building facilities.
This document encompasses the normal range of fluid bed operations. Fluid
bed technology is constantly improving. Obviously, technology improvements
and new applications may require deviation from this template. This is to be
utilized as a guide for the user to answer the majority of questions involved in
specifying and using the equipment. Addendums may be used to round out the
requirements.
A typical Dry Process involves the following steps:
1. Preheat (to prevent product from sticking to sides of fluid bed)

2. Loading
3. Drying (Fluidizing)
4. Cool down (Heat off)
5. Unloading
A typical Spray Process involves the following steps:
1. Preheat
2. Attainment of a preset exhaust temperature indicating fluid bed
is warm
3. Loading
4. Top Spray
5. Sub-dry
6. Repeat of steps 4 and 5
7. Drying (fluidizing)
8. Cool down (Heat off)
9. Unloading

Page 8 of 29
September 2003
NOTE: Spraying may be done using: Top Spray, Side Spray

and Wurster Column.
A typical Rotor Process involves the following steps:
1. Pre-heat
2. Attainment of a preset exhaust temperature indicating fluid bed
is warm
3. Loading
4. Fluidizing
5. Rotor start-up
6. Spraying
7. Sub-dry
8. Repeat of steps 6 and 7
9. Drying
10. Cool down
11. Unloading
NOTE: There are many types of rotor systems available, and

some may use seed pellets to provide a core and build
these seeds into bigger granules with multiple layers. It
is vital that the user specify the intended process to the
machine manufacturer so that the equipment may be
designed accordingly.
