Fluid Bed Dryers

A fluid bed dryer works on the principal that says forcing enough air through a bed of particles, the particle bed may assume a fluid-like state (resembling a boiling liquid). Heating the incoming air and managing air flow rate through the sample, the fluid bed dryer provides thorough mixing and maximum contact of solid with moving air. A fluid bed dryer, such as the one offered by Cole-Parmer, offers significant advantages over conventional drying techniques. The high rates of heat and mass transfer ensure much faster and more homogeneous drying than other methods such as oven and vacuum drying. Drying times range from a few seconds to minutes. Complete drying is usually achieved in under 15 minutes, the exact time for a given sample, airflow rate and temperature setting being very repeatable. The fluid bed dyer can achieve uniform, reproducible, moisture content with the appropriate settings. Materials with moisture contents from a few per cent to over 80 per cent may be dried. The inlet air temperature, which ranges from ambient to 200°C, covers the majority of drying and solvent removal operations. If you have questions about the fluid bed dryer contact one of our Technical Experts who would be glad to assist you.
