Fluid bed processors dry, moisturize, heat, or cool bulk solid material by causing it to vibrate on a screen or perforated surface within a rising column of heated, chilled, or moisturized air.

Continuous air flow and vibration separate and fluidize individual particles, maximizing the surface area of material and, accordingly, the rate at which drying, moisturizing, heating, or cooling can occur.

To prevent the uppermost layers of fluid bed particles from being pulled into the exhaust stream, the fluid bed exhaust plenum tapers outward, effectively reducing the air velocity by 50 percent.

The vibratory motion of the processor also serves to convey the material along a defined pathway for uniform processing on a "first in/first out" basis, and to evacuate the fluid bed at the end of each cycle.

To fit your material application and integrate with existing plant equipment, Kason offers a comprehensive range of equipment available as components, sub-systems, or complete systems.
