Fluid Bed Dryer By J. K. Industries

FLUID BED DRYER is designed to introduce the hot air stream at the base of the product container which is filled with the material. Induced drought is created by means of blower and fresh air is sucked in to the unit. The fresh air is heated by means of electrical heaters or steam or thermic fluid heaters. This hot air stream expands the bed of material at certain velocity & reating turbulence in the product. The phenomenon is known as fluidisation and offer conditions which are almost ideal for drying. Fluidisation produces full agitation of solid particles and since each particle gets surrounded by hot air, heat transfer is extremely high and uniform. The product is dried fast
without appreciable loss of heat. Filter bags prevent particles escaping from the dryer.
