Drying & Cooling
Fluid bed processing has several applications, the most common in process industries being drying and cooling, agglomeration, and air classification. Carrier offers a variety of vibrating fluid bed dryer and cooler systems that have proven reliable in applications around the world, and its designs can be customized to meet your needs. Other industrial drying and cooling equipment include conventional (static) fluid beds, media slurry dryers, flash and tornesh dryers.

Sécheurs et refroidisseurs à lit fluidisé vibrant
Dry and cool a wide range of material types at a variety of feed rates. Ideal for materials with wide particle size distribution.
Conventional / Static Fluid Bed Dryers & Coolers
Provide efficient processing including drying, cooling, classifying and sterilizing with Carrier conventional fluid bed dryers and coolers.
Sécheurs de boues médiatiques
Cost-effective in the production of super fine powders from liquid phase reaction or wet grinding operations. High viscosity materials can be pumped directly into a slurry dryer without mixing or atomization.
Sécheurs flash
Economical solution to dry powders and granular materials. Flash dryers can use higher gas temperatures than other dryers due to a very short material retention time, are capable of processing high capacities in a relatively small amount of space, and are often used as a pre-dryer to expand production capacity on existing lines.
Séchoirs Tornesh
Combine many of the benefits of fluid bed and flash drying. Process wet solids ranging in size from 1 micron up to one-half inch diameter. Materials to be dried fall to the bottom plenum and begin to swirl in a cyclonic pattern. As moisture is removed from the product, it becomes lighter and eventually is entrained in the upward hot gas stream.
VibroQ & VibroCool
Heat and Cool exchangers provide efficient indirect thermal processing for bulk solids while protecting product quality. Their vibratory design ensures uniform material movement across heat-transfer surfaces for consistent temperatures, high efficiency, and minimal maintenance.
Refroidisseurs de sable
Designed for foundry and processing operations, sand coolers efficiently reduce hot return sand to temperature and moisture levels ideal for reuse and mulling. Their vibrating fluid-bed design evenly distributes air through the sand bed to maximize thermal efficiency while preventing pluggage and hot spots.
Aggregate / Sand
Dryers & Coolers
Sand and aggregate dryers and coolers are engineered for demanding bulk material operations. These systems provide precise temperature control, uniform material flow, and rugged construction to handle abrasive materials and high throughputs.
The Basic Theory of Fluid Bed Dryers, Slurry Dryers, Flash Dryers & Tornesh Dryers
Pour comprendre les systèmes de séchage à lit fluidisé, il est important de se familiariser avec le fonctionnement du lit fluidisé. Le traitement par lit fluidisé fait passer un gaz directement à travers un lit de matières solides via une plaque perforée, des buses, une grille en céramique ou tout autre moyen de fluidisation, soulevant et mélangeant les matières solides. À mesure que la vitesse de l'air augmente, la chute de pression à travers le lit augmente également, jusqu'à ce qu'à un certain débit, la traînée de frottement sur les particules soit égale au poids effectif du lit de matières. À cette vitesse de fluidisation, le lit de matériaux acquiert des propriétés semblables à celles d'un fluide et s'étend au-delà de la taille du lit fluide. Lorsque la vitesse de l'air dans la section libre est encore augmentée, le lit s'étend jusqu'à ce que les particules soient emportées par l'air. En fluidisant le lit, chaque particule est enveloppée dans le gaz de traitement, ce qui crée un dispositif de transfert de chaleur extrêmement efficace.
