fluid bed dryer exporter

OPERATION
Fluid Bed Dryer is designed to introduce the hot air stream at the /base of the product container which is filled with the material. Induced draught is created by means of blower and fresh air is sucked into the unit. This hot air stream expands the material at certain velocity and creating turbulence in the product. The phenomenon is known as fluidisation and offer conditions which are almost for drying. Fluidisation produces full agitation of solid particles by hot air, heat transfer is extremely high and uniform. The product is dried fast without appreciable loss of heat. Filter bags prevent particle escaping from the dryer.

SUITABILITY
The conventional drying method of drying product in tray dryer is rather inadequate and troublesome. They occupy large floor pace, have very high drying time, are labour intensive and offer uneven drying. On contrast fluid Bed Dryer occupy comparatively lesser floor space, are very easy to operate and can dry material in least time as compared to tray dryer.

In Fluid Bed Dryer, temperature distribution throughout the product is uniform and the heat transfer rate is very high. Due to the reduced drying time high production rates are achieved.

As the product is in close contact with the drying air at low temperature, and also for short duration, the physical and chemical properties of the products are generally not effected and therefore the dryer can effectively be used for heat sensitive products. Due to the continuous movements of product during drying, lump formation, case hardening etc. are minimised.

The Fluid Bed Dryer are most suitable for drying, granular, crystalline, coarse or similar material in pharmaceutical, fine chemical, fine chemicals, dyes, food, allied products. The Fluid Bed Dryer is not suitable for drying liquids or pasty materials.
