Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fluidized bed granulator drying mechanism, and more specifically, to a pharmaceutical fluidized bed granulator. Background Technology

[0002] A pharmaceutical fluidized bed granulator is a closed-loop device that uses airflow to suspend (fluidize) materials and uses a spray binder to agglomerate powder into granules. Its core functions integrate mixing, granulation, and drying, and it achieves efficient and continuous production through fluid mechanics and heat transfer technology.

[0003] Currently, when using commonly used fluidized bed granulators to dry materials, the materials (especially viscous materials such as traditional Chinese medicine extracts) tend to adhere to the chamber walls, affecting drying efficiency and potentially causing coking, which increases cleaning difficulty. For example, a fluidized bed drying granulator disclosed in publication number CN212975038 U includes a drying chamber, an air inlet, and an air distribution plate. The top of the drying chamber is equipped with an exhaust valve. The upper part of the drying chamber is cylindrical, and the lower part is conical. An inlet is provided on the lower side of the drying chamber. An atomizing nozzle is provided in the middle of the upper part of the drying chamber. The atomizing nozzle is installed on a pipe. One end of the pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the drying chamber, and the other end passes through the drying chamber. An air inlet is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying chamber. The air inlet is cylindrical, and the diameter of the air inlet is the same as the diameter of the bottom of the drying chamber. An air distribution plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the air inlet.

[0004] As can be seen from the above-disclosed scheme, the drying chamber of the granulator is prone to wet particles contacting the wall surface and fine powder adhering during use, which in turn leads to the formation of an adhesion layer on the inner wall of the drying chamber, greatly reducing the heat and mass transfer efficiency, prolonging the drying time, and greatly increasing the difficulty of cleaning after the adhering fine powder cokes. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pharmaceutical fluidized bed granulator. This pharmaceutical fluidized bed granulator, through the setting of air blowing pipes, guide pipes, and annularly distributed air outlets, can add annular air ducts in the area of ​​the inner wall of the granulator drying chamber that is prone to sticking, blowing off the fine powder that has just adhered, keeping the wall surface dry, and reducing adhesion. Furthermore, through the setting of a motor, rotating rod, scraper, and scraper blade, the motor drives the scraper blade to rotate during the granulation drying interval or at the end, so that it can gently scrape off the material adhering to the wall surface, improving heat and mass transfer efficiency, shortening drying time, and reducing cleaning difficulty.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
