Fluid Bed Dryers Function

A fluidized bed dryer is an industrial drying equipment specifically designed for drying various powdery or granular materials. Our fluidized bed dryers are widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries, and are essential equipment for drying powdery and granular materials.

Fluidized Bed Drier Material

For optimal performance, your custom fluidized bed drier should be designed with the right type of steel. For different industries and materials, the fluidized bed dryer selects the appropriate steel. It can offer a continuous fluid bed dryer to be built in SS304, SS316L, Titanium, Duplex stainless steel, etc.

Fluid Bed Dryers Heating Method

The heating method is the core process of a fluidized bed dryer, primarily using hot air conduction. Depending on the heat source, common heating methods include steam heat exchange, electric heating, and gas/oil heating. Among these, steam heat exchange is the most widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries due to its lower operating costs and stable temperature control.

Static Fluid Bed Dryers

Static fluidised bed dryers or Continuous fluid bed dryers (dryers and coolers) are used on free-flowing fluidised bulk materials that have a particle size distribution. The static fluid bed dryer remains stationary during operation. Static fluid bed dryers can be continuous or batch operated.
The other kinds of fluid bed drying machine is a shaking (vibrating) fluid bed dryer or cooler, where the body of the dryer oscillates, assisting the movement of material through the unit and supporting the fluidisation.
it also has one kind of vertical fluid bed dryer that works as batch operation, but this kind of vertical fluidised bed dryer has some capacity and easy clean so that can reach GMP.

Continuous Fluidized Bed Dryer

The shaking continuous fluidized bed dryer is a high-efficiency, energy-saving drying system designed for large-scale production, particularly suitable for processes requiring evaporation rates exceeding 300 kg/h. By optimizing both airflow and material movement, the equipment ensures full fluidization of the product within the drying chamber, leading to highly efficient moisture removal.

Vertical Fluid Bed Dryer

Hywell Machinery FG series vertical fluid bed dryers are ideal for products that are free flowing. This type of fluid bed dryer is referred to as a static fluid bed because the fluid bed dryer remains stationary during operation. The static fluid bed processer provides an effective method of drying relatively free-flowing particles with a reasonable narrow particle size distribution. The feed may take the form of powders, granules, crystals, seeds, pre-forms, and agglomerates. A static fluidized bed dryer can be batch operation. Because there is no mechanical drive system to move the product, the static fluid bed processors are lighter and simpler to manufacture – hence cheaper than the dynamic fluid-bed dryers.
Units in continuous and batch types for more uniform materials that do not tend to agglomerate.

Vibrating Fluid Bed Dryer

The vibrating fluid bed dryer can make a moist powder layer vibrate on an air distributor plate. The effect of the vibration combined with the upward and forward directed flow of drying air through the perforated plate creates ideal processing conditions and powder transport.
Uniform product moisture content is achieved by passing treated gas through a perforated plate assuring intimate mixing of the gas and process material. As the treated gas passes through the wet material the moisture is removed and carried away to be treated in a cyclone and baghouse. The dried final product of the vibrating fluid bed dryer is conveyed to the dryer discharge.

Fluid Bed Dryer FAQ

1. What is a Fluid Bed Dryer?

A Fluid Bed Dryer (FBD) is an industrial drying system that uses hot air to fluidize and dry particulate materials such as powders, granules, or crystals. During operation, heated air passes through a perforated plate, suspending the material in a fluid-like state. This ensures efficient heat transfer, uniform drying, and precise moisture control. Fluid bed dryers are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and agricultural industries.

2. What Types of Fluid Bed Dryers Are Available from Hywell?

Hywell Machinery offers several types of fluid bed dryers to suit different applications and process requirements:

1) Vibrating Fluid Bed Dryer:

Uses controlled vibration to improve fluidization of materials with poor flow or wide particle size distribution. Ideal for salt, sugar, chemicals, and minerals. For example, for table salt with an initial moisture content of 5-8%, a single vibrating fluidized bed typically has a processing capacity of 2-10 tons per hour.

2)Shaking Fluid Bed Dryer:

Features a mechanical shaking motion instead of vibration. Common in Europe, it ensures gentle and uniform product movement across the bed. For example, for table salt with an initial moisture content of 5-8%, a single vibrating fluidized bed typically has a processing capacity of 10-25 tons per hour.

3) Static Fluidized Bed Dryer:

A non-vibratory dryer with a fixed bed layer, which utilizes negative or positive pressure from a fan to fluidize materials within the chamber, enabling heat exchange through hot air for moisture evaporation.

4) Vertical Fluidized Bed Dryer:

Featuring a compact vertical design, it is primarily used for small-scale, batch material drying. This equipment complies with GMP requirements and utilizes negative or positive pressure from a fan to fluidize materials within the chamber, enabling heat exchange through hot air for moisture evaporation.

3. What Heating Methods Are Available for the Fluid Bed Drying Machine?

Hywell’s fluidized bed dryers can be customized with various heating options based on the product and energy source:

1) Electric Heating:

This method is used for precise temperature control and clean operation. However, a significant drawback is the high installed electrical power required, leading to substantial capital and operating costs.

2) Steam Heating:

Commonly employed in the pharmaceutical and food industries, steam heating also offers clean operation. Its use, however, is contingent upon the user's plant having an existing steam boiler capable of supplying sufficient saturated steam.

3)Gas or Oil-Fired Air Heater:

Suitable for large-scale material drying, this method provides highly efficient heating. Depending on the characteristics of the material being processed, the air heater can be configured for either indirect or direct heating.

4. What material options are available for a fluid dryer (also known as a fluidized bed dryer)?

Fluidized bed dryers are manufactured from different materials depending on the specific application scenario:

1) 304 Stainless Steel:

This is a standard choice for fluid bed dryers used in general food and chemical drying applications.

2) 316L Stainless Steel:

This grade is specified for high-purity pharmaceutical, sanitary-grade processes, and for drying mildly corrosive materials in fluid bed dryers.

3) Carbon Steel:

Carbon steel is an option for industrial fluidized bed drying applications where high corrosion resistance is not required.

4) 310S Stainless Steel:

This material is used in fluid bed dryers that operate in environments with temperatures ranging from above 400°C to 1100°C.

5. What Are the Typical Applications of a Fluid Bed Drying Machine?

Hywell fluid bed dryers are used in a wide range of industries and materials, including:
Food products (salt, sugar, coffee, spices, milk powder)
Pharmaceuticals (granules, APIs, excipients)
Chemicals (detergent, fertilizer, pigments)
Minerals (sand, crystals, metal powders)

6. What Are the Key Features of Hywell Fluid Bed Dryers?

High drying efficiency with uniform moisture reduction.
Gentle product handling, suitable for heat-sensitive materials.
Precise temperature and airflow control for consistent results.
Energy-efficient design with low pressure drop and optimized airflow.
Easy cleaning and maintenance, with options for automatic CIP systems.

Customizable design for batch or continuous operation.

7. What Are the Advantages of Using a Fluid Bed Dryer?

Faster drying compared to traditional drying methods
Improved product quality and uniformity
Lower energy consumption due to efficient heat transfer
Scalable from lab to industrial production
Suitable for both batch and continuous drying operations
