Fluid Bed Dryer

Compared to conventional batch and other continuous drying method, fluid - bed technology offers several advantages such as:

  • no product lump formation/caking
  • no particle overheating/cooling
  • a well defined product residence time
  • uniform product quality
  • better energy economy due to lower specific heat requirements etc.

What is fluidisation?

In 'Fluid - Bed' the material is suspended in an upward moving Hot - air and the mass behaves like a boiling fluid after 'Fluidisation'. Thus, Fluidisation is basically a state of dynamic balance of solids in fluid.

Quantity of fine solids in a form of bed are placed on a distributor plate and hot - air is passed slowly. The bed expands and then at certain stage starts moving vigorously. This is the state of fluidisation.

Principle of Operation

The Fluid - Bed - Dryers are most suitable for Drying granular, crystalline, coarse or similar material. It is also possible to dry very fine crystals or very coarse material. The air is passed from the bottom of the container, therefore, the turbulence in the product is obtained, and hence the product moves up and down in the product container. Due to this the heat transfer is very quick and the product is dried very fast without appreciable loss of heat. The Fluid - Bed - Dryers are not suitable for drying liquids or pasty materials.
