Industrial fluid bed dryers for powder processing
In the industries of dairy, food, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing, ensuring high-quality powder production while maintaining operational efficiency is a critical challenge. Traditional drying methods may fall short regarding energy consumption, control over particle size, and the risk of product degradation, especially for heat-sensitive materials.
Achieve consistent drying and cooling of powders
The Anhydro Fluid Bed Dryers from SPX Flow offer a robust solution for drying and cooling powder products with optimal efficiency. Utilizing intimate air-to-product contact, these fluid beds ensure superior heat transfer and prevent degradation in heat-sensitive powders. Available in both batch and continuous designs, the fluid bed systems provide flexibility for various production scales, from a few kilograms per hour to 20 tons per hour. Their capabilities extend to processes such as agglomeration, spray coating, dedusting, and lecithination, making them versatile for multiple powder treatments. The equipment’s design promotes gentle and efficient mixing, improved control over particle size distribution, and effective removal of fines. GMP and 3-A compliant versions are also available to meet industry-specific hygiene standards.
