Fluid Bed Dryers & Coolers
VIBRO-FLUIDIZER® Fluid Bed
After treatment - secondary drying and cooling - constitutes an essential part of powder production. The VIBRO-FLUIDIZER® is recognized for its efficiency and gentle processing - whether it is a fine powder or an agglomerated product.
The drying process
The moist powder layer is vibrated on an air distributor plate. The effect of the vibration combined with the upward and forward directed flow of drying air through the perforated plate create ideal processing conditions and powder transport. Thanks to the vibration, it is possible to operate with fluidized powder layers of less than 200 mm. This gives a narrow and swift controlled residence time whilst avoiding attrition.
The perforation of the air distributor plate design is selected according to the product application, and it is possible to adjust the angle and direction of the forward directed airflow. This makes the VIBRO-FLUIDIZER® a very efficient post-drying unit where the powder comes close to the equilibrium of the incoming drying air. Further, it is self-emptying.
The VIBRO-FLUIDIZER® can be equipped with integrated retractable CIP nozzles for a complete and efficient CIP wet cleaning with very short turnaround time. The VIBRO-FLUIDIZER® is a truly sanitary vibrating plug flow fluid bed complying with the strictest standards and regulation.
