ADVANTAGES

In the Fluidaire Fluid Bed Dryer, the loaded wet material is

completely fluidised by a powerful stream of hot air, thereby

achieving high heat transfer rate and uniform temperature

distribution across the product. This results in reducing drying

time considerably and achieving high productivity in

comparison with other dryers. As the drying temperature is low

and duration is short, physical and chemical properties of the

product are generally not affected, thereby facilitating the use

of the dryer for heat sensitive products. Common problems

faced during drying such as lump formation, case hardening

etc. are minimised due to total fluidisation.

It is not recommended to dry liquids or pasty materials in the

Fluidaire Fluid Bed Dryer.

WORKING PRINCIPLES Atmospheric Air is drawn by means of a Blower and is passed

through a fine dust HDPE filter thereby freeing the air from

impurities. The pure air is subsequently heated by steam or an

electric heater. The temperature is controlled by means of apreset themostat or by a temperature regulator. Heaters are

electrically operated with thermostat controls and are made in

stainless steel 304. Electrical interlocking of heater and blower

is provided. Steam radiators can also be provided instead of

electrical heaters.

Steam radiators are suitable for operation at 3.5 kg. / sq. cm.

pressure having finned tube is provided in S S casing. A

suitable steam control manifold is provided with all S S or all

copper or combination of copper and S S or S S andaluminium construction depending upon the customer's

requirements.

The clean hot air stream flowing upwards, fluidises the batch offlowable moist material charged in the bowl. The product bowl

is equipped with a stainless steel mesh to facilitate air flow

through the material. A homogeneous distribution of

temperature is achieved as the hot air comes into contact with

the entire surface of individual particles during fluidisation,

resulting in rapid and effective drying of even the smallest

traces of residual moisture.

A Bag filter provided in the filter chamber arrests the

particulates in the air flow. The particulates fall back into the

bowl when the bag shaker is set into operation at the end of

the working process. The air containing the moisture escapes

through the exhaust.

An outlet air damper and inlet air damper regulates the

quantity of air.

The fluidising air for drying is drawn by the Blower located on thetop section of the Fluid Bed Dryer. (The Blower can also be

positioned elsewhere away from the Fluid Bed Dryer)

IMPORTANT

In case the product contains solvents or inflammable

substances, it is essential that the Dryer is steam operated

and provided with a flame-proof motor.
