Vibrating Fluid Bed Dryers

Carrier vibrating fluid bed dryers are designed to dry and/or cool a variety of products at a wide range of feed rates.

Like conventional, or static fluid bed dryers, vibrating fluid bed dryers function by passing a process gas directly through a bed of solids via a perforated plate or another type of fluidizing media. Vibration aids in the fluidization and movement of difficult-to-process materials while preventing hot spots, burnt sides or areas left wet, while zoning allows multiple functions to be performed in a single piece of equipment for maximum material processing efficiency.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF CARRIER VIBRATING FLUID BED DRYERS:

• Lower fluidizing velocities are required, making the fluid bed dryer system more energy efficient.
• High temperature designs provide minimal footprint and maximum efficiency 
• Easy to clean and maintain.
• Plug flow delivers consistent first-in, first-out material output .
• Re-circulated gas and closed-loop systems are available for improved efficiency or solvent recovery.
• Available in low or high vibration designs to process the widest range of materials.
• Clean-in-place (CIP) and fire suppression systems available as part of the vibrating fluid bed dryer, where necessary.
• Carrier’s patented Delta-Phase® Drive option permits on-line adjustment of angle of vibration and precise retention time control.
• Sanitary, U.S.D.A. (3A) approved vibrating fluid bed dryer construction.
