Fluid Bed Dryer

Pragati Engineering Works offers Fluid Bed Dryer. During the last decade, the use of ‘Fluid-Bed’ technique on industrial scale has been increasing considerably, specially for drying, cooling, calcination, agglomeration, combustion and in many other unit operations, due to its manifold advantages. Compared to conventional batch and other continuous drying methods, 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. 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, which has got perforations of SS fine wire-mesh. Hot air passes through the product container and 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 faster without appreciable loss of heat. Fluid bed dryers are not suitable for drying liquids of pasty materials. The equipment comes complete with a 2800-RPM TEFC motor, control panel with timer, two temperature gauges, filter bag, SS container with trolley and heater or steam radiator. Features: Rapid exchange of granules; Low drying temperature; Electric or steam heated; Little space required; and available in 15 kg to 250 kg batch capacities.
