Gansons
Gansons manufactures fluid bed dryers for the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. A distinguishing feature of its equipment is the company’s proprietary air distribution technology.
Its systems are installed in manufacturing facilities that operate under requirements set by the US FDA, UK MHRA, EMA, and WHO-GMP. Below, we examine the specifications and applications of three Gansons products.
About Gansons
Gansons has manufactured process equipment for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries since 1947. The company supplies systems worldwide for facilities operating under strict regulatory requirements, including those of the FDA and MHRA*.
Gansons combines its processing equipment with automation systems that address data integrity and regulatory compliance.
Gansons Fluid Bed Dryer
The Gansons Fluid Bed Dryer uses the patented Cyklon® air distribution system. Its spiral airflow shortens drying time and limits contact between particles, which can reduce friction and the formation of fines.
Unlike conventional fluid bed dryers, the Cyklon® system does not require a perforated distributor plate. This makes the equipment easier to clean and maintain. Options include a fully automated Wash-In-Place (WIP) system and an explosion-resistant configuration rated for pressures up to 12 bar.

Gansons Fluidised Bed Processor & Coater (FBPC)
The Gansons Fluidised Bed Processor & Coater (FBPC) maintains controlled processing conditions to produce consistent, repeatable results. It is intended for facilities following pharmaceutical manufacturing guidelines used worldwide, including those of the US FDA, UK MHRA, EMA, and WHO-GMP.
The same system can be used for small R&D batches and commercial production, allowing manufacturers to scale up without changing the basic process conditions.

Gansons inONE® R&D Fluid Bed Dryer Module
The inONE® is a modular R&D system that handles coating, drying, milling, and blending in one compact unit.
It uses the Cyklon® air distribution system and can be connected to an isolator. This allows operators to process high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs), including oncology and hormonal products, under contained conditions. The tabletop unit can also run on solar power.

Summary of Gansons
Gansons supplies fluid bed processing equipment for regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its proprietary Cyklon® system uses spiral airflow to shorten drying time and limit product loss.
Available options include easy-to-clean configurations, automated washing, and explosion-resistant construction.
Success in material processing depends on the quality of your drying. Choosing a low-cost machine often leads to hidden losses—such as material breakage, inconsistent drying, or increased cleaning cycles—that erode your profits.
For precision materials like semiconductors, EV batteries, and pharmaceuticals, drying quality directly impacts yield. By prioritizing high-performance systems that ensure material integrity, you can eliminate these issues and significantly reduce long-term production costs.
This website introduces the ideal drying solutions to optimize your yield and profitability.
