Fluid bed lab dryer for small seed lots
Efficiently dry and condition small seed lots with precise temperature control, ensuring optimal seed quality in research and development environments.

Dries and Conditions Small Seed Lots
The FBL Fluid Bed Lab Dryer from Hoopman Equipment & Engineering is designed for precision drying of small seed lots within seed coating laboratories and agricultural research facilities. Utilizing the fluid bed principle, this compact dryer efficiently manages seeds’ moisture content by employing a temperature-controlled integrated heating system. Capable of handling batches from 0.2 to 8 liters, it supports versatility in drying operations with interchangeable material cylinders. The frequency-controlled fan ensures low noise operation, enhancing user experience in laboratory environments. The mobile design, mounted on swivel wheels, adds flexibility, allowing drying operations at various locations within a facility. Additionally, the FBL is energy-efficient, with its innovative airflow system reducing overall energy consumption. The equipment is easily integrated into existing lab infrastructures with standard 400V connections and meets the varied needs of processing vegetable, flower, herb, and grain seeds, catered to producing coated, pelleted, and primed seeds.
