What is the difference between FBD and FBP in pharmaceutical industry ?

Fluid Bed Dryer (FBD) :

A fluid bed dryer (FBD) is a single-function machine designed specifically for drying granules, powders, or other materials. It works by fluidizing the material with a stream of hot air. Its simpler design focuses on efficient airflow and heat transfer for optimal moisture removal. FBDs are commonly used in pharmaceutical manufacturing to reduce moisture content, making powder particles suitable for the tableting process.

Fluid bed processor (FBP) :

A fluid bed processor (FBP) is a versatile equipment that performs multiple functions, including drying, granulation, palletization, and coating. FBP combines fluidization and spraying for granulation, coating, and drying in one system, making it a multi-purpose equipment. It's used for advanced pharmaceutical applications, such as sustained-release coatings, enteric coatings, or taste-masking
