Continuous fluid bed dryer for powder and granules

Enhance your production line with precise moisture control and energy efficiency, essential for optimizing the drying and cooling of bulk materials like powders and granules.

Dries and Cools Powders and Granules Continuously

The Continuous Fluid Bed Dryer from TEMA Process is designed to enhance product quality and energy efficiency across various industries, including minerals, food, chemicals, renewables, and fertilizers. It utilizes a fluidization process to ensure even drying and cooling of powders and granules. This system is ideal for materials like silica sand, granulated sugar, and organic fertilizer pellets, with a capacity to handle up to 200 tons per hour.

The dryer operates continuously, incorporating static and dynamic fluidization methods, including optional shaking and vibrating mechanisms for sticky materials. Its energy efficiency is amplified through submerged heat exchangers, reducing the equipment’s size and exhaust air volume. Constructed from durable materials, it’s suitable for high-temperature processes, achieving drying gas temperatures up to 750°C.

The equipment can be integrated seamlessly into existing production lines, featuring PLC control for precise operation and easy monitoring. Designed for minimal maintenance, it supports CIP systems for efficient cleaning. With customization options available, TEMA Process provides engineering support to tailor the dryer to your specific operational needs.
