Fluid Bed Agglomeration

S S Techno Services Pvt Ltd manufactures state-of-the-art Fluid Bed Agglomeration products. These include: continuous static dryer, vibratory fluid bed dryer and continuous fluid bed dryer to suit customers’ needs. Fluid bed dryers are used for drying solids in particulate form/cakes. The company has developed special screens for ensuring proper fluidisation and optimum heat transfer, along with effective pneumatic transport of the solids. Technology: the company offers proven state-of-the-art technology to agglomerate/granulate powders using fluid bed dryer. Agglomeration is required for producing: particles with "instant" properties; "dustless" powders; to meet the product size requirement of the end user. Agglomeration integrated with spray drying: in this type of agglomeration, a vibro fluid bed dryer (VFBD) is attached in succession to the spray dryer. The spray dried powder is fed to the VFBD at high moisture which helps agglomeration. In some cases, the fines generated in the spray dryer and fluid bed dryer are fed back to the spray dryer through a recycle loop. Adjustment of various operating parameters and control on the material movement in the dryer gives the right product. Rewet agglomeration: this involves fluidisation of the fine powder in air. The powder is rewetted by small liquid droplets prior to fluidisation. The material handling during the agglomeration process itself is specially controlled according to required specifications. In certain cases, the wetting liquid along with special additives is sprayed directly in the fluidised bed. The company was promoted by experienced technocrats in the year 2001 to supply innovative product oriented turnkey systems based on evaporation and drying technology. Some product examples are milk powders, baby food, instant tea, instant coffee, health drink powders, fruit concentrates/powder, etc.
