Centrifugally Agitated Bed Dryers

Drying Installations

Through the centrifugally agitated bed dryers, the material begins to act like a fluid with gas of the right velocity passed though the bed. There is excellent solids/gas contact, resulting in high heat transfer rates for rapid drying. We have built fluid bed drying systems with a drying capacity up to 300 tph.

Centrifugally Agitated Bed Dryers are suitable for:

• Sands (Mineral & Foundry)
• Minerals (Limestone, Magnetite, Gypsum, Copper, Salt, Iron Ore)
• Plant Seeds & Grains (Grass, Wheat, Oats)
• Chemical Mixtures Main benefits of the Centrifugally Agitated Bed Dryers:
• Ability to dry small to fine material
• Low maintenance
• Well agitated
• High capacity

Concept of the Centrifugally Agitated Bed Dryers

The bed has the appearance of a vigorously boiling liquid, and in fact the bed of material takes on many of the properties of a fluid. It exerts a hydrostatic head, and the material will flow through a hole in the vessel or over and under a weir within the bed.
