NEW: fluidized bed dryer by Vibra Schultheis

Fluid-bed dryers and coolers form the output stage of the production process for a large number of products in both the chemical and the food industries. It is vital to handle the bulk materials in such a way that they can be processed further, stored or packed without any impairment to quality.

The degree of drying and the outlet temperature have to be adapted to the specific properties of each product. In addition to drying and cooling tasks, fluid-bed technology is also employed for roasting, agglomerating, temperature control and instantizing, in many applications interacting closely with vibration technology owing to the considerable advantages offered by vibration-assisted processes.

The criteria for selecting the optimum type of construction today extend far beyond purely functional characteristics. The quality of a drying plant is crucially dependent not just on its fundamental suitability for the intended drying task, but above all on a host of design details that are critical for compliance with hygienic standards, easy cleaning and straightforward handling of all cleaning-relevant components as well as simple adaptation to a variety of products and production conditions.
