Product Description

Specification:

FLUIDIZED BED DRYER APPARATUS

Description:

This is a dryer in which moistureremoval takes place by fluidization of solids particles by hot air.

The set-up fitted with a speciallydesigned, vertical Glass Column. The lower portion of the column is filled withfluidizing material. The material is supported on the screen mesh held betweentwo flanges. Air from a compressor is heated in the heater box and passedthrough the column. Flow control and by-pass valve are fitted to regulate theairflow. At the top outlet of column a cyclone is provided to collect any solidparticles taken out by the air stream.
