The Continuous Fluid Bed Dryer (CFBD) by Ravi International is an advanced drying system designed for continuous, efficient, and uniform drying of powders, granules, and crystals. Ideal for pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing industries, this equipment ensures consistent product quality and optimized energy use.
Overview
Our Continuous Fluid Bed Dryer operates on the principle of fluidization, where hot air passes through a perforated bed of solids, creating a fluid – like motion that allows for uniform heat transfer and moisture removal.
The process ensures continuous operation, eliminating the batch-wise limitations of traditional dryers, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
Working Principle – Continuous Fluid Bed Dryer
In the Continuous Fluid Bed Dryer, the material is fed at one end of the drying chamber and conveyed horizontally while hot air is passed through the perforated plate.
The particles are suspended and mixed thoroughly by the upward airflow, resulting in uniform drying. The dried product is discharged continuously from the other end, ensuring steady throughput and controlled moisture levels.
Key Process Steps:
- Material feeding through a rotary or screw feeder
- Hot air distribution and fluidization
- Continuous drying through the perforated plate
- Dust collection and exhaust filtration
- Discharge of dried material
