WORKING PRINCIPLE OF FLUID BED DRYER SYSTEM
A fluid bed dryer works on a principle of fluidization of the materials. In the fluidization process, hot air or gas flow is introduced through the bed of solid particulates. This gas or air will move upwards through the spaces between the particles. As the velocity increases, upward drag forces on the particles increase and at a stage become equal to the gravitational forces beneath. Hence the bed is said to be fluidized and the particles are suspended in the fluid.

Fluid bed dryer
The Fluid Bed technology achieves constant and reproducible product quality while ensuring a gentle process in short process times. Processes ranging from powdery materials to free-flowing materials can be carried out as well as the drying of moist products (e.g. moist granulates).
Powders, granulates, and other shapes can be coated in this system too. During the process, heated air-in defined quantity and speed – continuously flows through the special design of the perforated sheet into the product vessel. The product starts to fluidize and can be moistened by means of an alternity spray nozzle and granulated, depending on the application.
Tangential spray nozzles in the area of the bottom (underfeed) or a Wruster system are used for coating pellets. Integrated filters selected according to the process and product – hold back the powder particles in the processor. The particles are retained in the process by continuous filter cleaning.
