The Fluid Bed Dryers (FBD) are primarily  used in almost all chemical, pharmaceutical, food, dyestuff and other  process industries to dry materials by fluidization with hot and / or  dehumidified air, which creates a turbulence in the wet product (not  totally liquid) while flowing through it.

==Working Principle==
The atmospheric air is sucked in  the dryer through 5/10 micron filter by efficient dynamically balanced  fan driven by an electric motor. The clean air then passes over the  electric heaters / steam or radiator provided with controller. The hot  air passes through the product and fluidization dries the product. Dryer  is provided with dehumidifier (Chilled water system) at the inlet so as  to dry the product at low temperature under fluidized condition. The  blower speed is controlled by AC frequency drive so as to control the  fluidization avoiding choking of the filter bag. A raking system is  provided to avoid lump formation in the container to achieve uniform  fluidization and uniform drying.
