Drying Processing

FLUIDIZED BED DRYING

Fluidized Bed Drying (FBD) is a vital step in the manufacturing of many powders, granules, and crystals. As opposed to traditional methods, FBD offers faster dry times with uniform drying conditions. If properly implemented, FBD provides an ideal solution for the gentle drying of your products.

FBDs operate by circulating heated air suspending the product and ensuring that each granule is being dried. This process is regulated by the heat of the air, the force of the updraft from the fan, and the time spent in the dryer.

Moisture is measured traditionally through Loss on Drying (LOD). This method, while affordable, has a significant amount of error involved. Measurements are taken offline, not in real-time, leading to increased production time and product rework.
