Fluid Bed Dryer
A systematic machine system built with ingenious technology by Goma Engineering for reducing the moisture content of powders and granules in the processing journey through a fluid bed dryer.
A fluid bed dryer is equipment used in the drying of powder, granules, and agglomerates that is required moisture content for storage conditions and agglomeration. It has applications in different industries such as food and pharmaceutical.
A Fluid bed drying produced non-dusty & free-flowing agglomerated powder with good rehydration properties and good aroma retention.
The principle working involves using an upward flow of air (hot/cool) at different velocities through a special perforated plate/permeable bed on which the product passes into three stages, resulting in drying, agglomeration, and cooling of the material.
A fluid bed dryer is equipment including of special perforated plate/permeable bed with a conveyor for product flow on it which can be vibrating, or stationary, upward flow of air (heated or cooled) system, blower, air filter, air heater, an exhaust fan.
The technology fluid bed drying consists of the supply of air using a blower followed by filtering and heating/cooling of air. The product is fed into the drying chamber and flows through the permeable bed in the first stage where the powder is dried using an upward flow of heated air at different velocities to the required moisture level, in the second stage agglomeration is done by creating the turbulence on bed produces powder with good flowability and rehydration properties and in the third stage, powder to be cooled to the required temperature for packing and storage using upward flow cooled air.
The advantages of fluid bed dryers are high heat and mass transfer in product and air, handling of heat-sensitive materials, and high thermal efficiency in drying.
Goma Engineering, Thane can offer a complete fluid bed dryer system, from an air heating system, fluid bed dryer chamber, and air exhaust system. We have long and good practices in manufacturing, designing, and installing energy-efficient and sanitary fluid bed dryers. We are providing a solution for drying various food and pharmaceutical a product using a fluid bed dryer.
