Fluidized bed dryer Bella™

continuouscooler

The Bella™ dryer/cooler offers a highly efficient method of drying or cooling powders, granulates and filter cakes. The super fast mixing capability of the Bella dryer/cooler makes it an ideal heater or cooler, since the process of drying or cooling is simply the mixing of heated or cooled air with any given material. The better the mixer, the better the dryer. Since the Bella mixer is one of the fastest mixers for mixing dry granular powders and granulates, when used as a dryer or cooler it becomes highly efficient and creates some very high energy savings which can have a huge impact to lower operational costs. In addition, the gentle agitation of the mixing paddles produces a very desirable finished material which is consistent in texture, moisture and particle size. With the twin counter rotating paddles, dead zones are eliminated because each and every particle being dried or cooled is in constant motion and moving in numerous random directions. Material is never allowed to stagnate, thus increasing its total exposure time to the heated or cooled air to improve performance and efficiency. Thus, the heated or cooled air is allowed to easily move in and around each particle because the material is slightly suspended as a result of the constant agitation of the paddles as it moves the material in and out of the weightless zone before the heated or cooled air is allowed to exit. This process also maximizes the total surface of the material which is exposed to the heated or cooled air, thus increasing the thermal efficiency.
