Fluidized bed dryer
Metso's Mining and Construction Technology
Through the fluidizing phenomenon, the material begins to act like a fluid with gas of the right velocity passed though the bed. There is excellent solids/gas contact, resulting in high heat transfer rates for rapid drying. We have built fluid bed drying systems with a drying capacity up to 300 tph.
Fluid bed dryers are suitable for:
* Sands (Mineral & Foundry)
* Minerals (Limestone, Magnetite, Gypsum, Copper, Salt, Iron Ore)
* Plant Seeds & Grains (Grass, Wheat, Oats)
* Chemical Mixtures
Main benefits of the fluid bed are:
* Ability to dry small to fine material
* Low maintenance
* Well agitated
* High capacity
Concept of the fluid bed
The bed has the appearance of a vigorously boiling liquid, and in fact the bed of material takes on many of the properties of a fluid. It exerts a hydrostatic head, and the material will flow through a hole in the vessel or over and under a weir within the bed.
