FLUIDIZED BED DRYER |seed and grain cleaning|Oliver Manufacturing Company|specific gravity separator|destoner Fluidized Bed Dryer - The application of the Oliver patented fan systemto produce uniform, precise air flow has created a simple inexpensive fluidized bed dryer. The flash drying system provides a solution to many challenging thermal processing problems. The fluidized bed dryer offers instantaneous moisture removal from material with diverse size and consistency characteristics and there is a long retention time on the drying table. A large vibrating table also minimizes material degradation and dust control, heat and chilling air systems are readily available. Many customers ask us how we can determine when we are getting the most from a fluidized bed dryer. This is an extremely difficult question to answer because not all people want to accomplish the same thing by operating their fluidized bed dryer. We manufacture fluidized bed dryers to make a separation based on seed density. To do this, it is first necessary that the seed must be cleaned and properly sized. Since size, shape and weight of the seed directly effect the separation, it is imperative that the seeds be classified according to size and shape before attempting to make a separation on the basis of weight. The advantages of a vibrating fluidized bed dryer are that (1) the forced conveyance in any given direction, (2) fluidization occurs even at low air velocities and (3) the time the prodcut remains in the fluidized bed dryer can be at least partially controlled. |
