Horizontal Fluidized Bed Dryer
Continuous horizontal fluidized bed dryer that suspends granular materials in hot air for fast, low-temperature, GMP-compliant drying.
Overview
The Horizontal fluidized bed dryer, also called a boiling dryer, consists of an air filter, heater, fluidized-bed body, cyclone separator, bag filter, high-pressure fan and control console. Granular solid materials are suspended in hot air to achieve gas-solid heat and mass exchange, making it a continuous, easily automated drying system.
Features
- Continuous, automated operation that supports GMP-compliant production
- Fast drying at low temperature to protect product quality
- Dust collection configurable as cyclone, bag filter or both to suit the material
- Steam, electric or hot-air-furnace heating
- Handles particles up to 6 mm, best in the 0.5-3 mm range
Working Principle
Granular material is fed into the fluidized-bed dryer. Filtered, heated air is delivered by a blower into the base of the bed and passes up through a distributor plate to contact the solids, forming a fluidized state that drives gas-solid heat and mass exchange. The dried material discharges through the outlet, while exhaust leaves the top and passes through cyclone and bag-filter units that recover fine powder before venting.
