Fluid Bed Dryer

Fluid bed drying passes controlled air through a perforated plate to suspend particles, improving heat and mass transfer. It is used to reduce moisture, cool product, and stabilize flow—especially for materials that cake or degrade with uneven drying.

Capabilities

  • Efficient drying through fluidization and uniform transfer.
  • Cooling/conditioning stages to prevent condensation in packing.
  • Process control via airflow, temperature and residence time.
