Introduction
Fluid bed dryer is widely used by pharmaceutical, chemical
and foodstuff industries. It is used to dry materials with hot air and the
process are called fluidization. The fluid bed dryer is constructed using S.S.
304 quality stainless steel material. The machine contains a horizontal bed
where the fluid is lying for fluidization.
How it works?
In fluid bed dryer, the hot air inserted into the container
using air blower. The air is heated using steam or gas at the bottom of the
machine. As the air heated the material, it moves and expands in the container
at a certain velocity and retain the turbulence in the product. The heat
transfer is extremely high and uniform and the product dried fast without
appreciable loss of heat.

Suitability
The fluid bed dryer requires less space compared to other
dryers. It is very easy to operate and you can dried the material in a very
less time. So, it gives high production rates. The fluid bed dryer is most
suitable for drying granular, crystalline, coarse or similar material in
pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, dyes, food and allied products. It is not
suitable for drying liquids or pasty materials.
