Fluid Bed Dryer FBD 2000



How the FBD 2000 Fluid Bed Dryer operates
A powerful fan delivers the high volume of air flow from the base of the
unit into a special tub assembly which holds the sample material.

The flow of heated air passes through a diffuser gauze which supports
the bed and evenly distributes the air as it passes into the tub.A filter bag
at the top of the tub keeps the sample in while allowing the air, moisture
and gases to escape.

Temperature Control

Air is heated by a 2kW electric heater and can be set to any temperature
up to 200°C. The temperature is controlled by a closed loop system that
can achieve stability to within 1°C.

Timed Cycle

A built in timer enables the drying time to be pre-set and the drying
operation to be carried out unattended. At the end of the cycle time an
alarm sounds and the unit switches off automatically.

Air Flow

The air flow rate and fluidisation velocity are infinitely variable from 0.4 to
2.4 m/min volume (0.9 to 5 m/sec speed). Optimum levels can be set by
observing the sample behaviour within the glass tubs.

Filter Bag Material

Filter bags are usually nylon or terylene with other materials available to
suit more aggressive conditions such as sustained high temperature
drying.

FEATURES

Fast - drying times range from a few seconds to minutes

Efficient - higher rates of heat transfer ensure faster and more
homogenous drying than oven, microwave or vacuum drying.

- suitable for most granular and powdered materials

Reproducible results - precise controls ensure uniform and
reproducible results

Easy to use - manageable controls with straightforward settings
