Understanding Fluidized Bed Dryers (FBD)

Many industries need to process fluidized, slurries and paste type of materials in such scenarios fluid bed dryer comes in rescue as the traditional dryers such as rotary, tunnel, conveyor, continuous tray not able to provide the desired results. FBD provide advantages such as good solids mixing, high rates of heat and mass transfer and easy material transport over others. FBD is achieved by passing gas stream from the bottom of a bed of particle to be dried, at low gas velocities the bed is static and the particles rests on gas distributor plate. The fluidizing gas passes through the distributor and it is uniformly distributed across the bed. FBD has upper hand when it comes to drying particle size ranging from 50 to 200 μm compared to other systems. Heat transfer in gas-FBD can be achieved by multiple ways conduction, convention or radiation based on the design and operating conditions. Designing of FBD largely depends on the rate period of the particulates. Below are the key

Drying in Pharmaceutical Industries

Drying plays vital role of life saver to many industrial process then how it cannot be mentioned for the industry which help many living things to save their life and keep them healthy. Yes, you got it right, in this article I will try to jot down the role and importance of drying as process in pharmaceutical industries.  All lifesaving drugs processed in the pharmaceutical industries needs to go through multiple drying stages as the any microbial infection, thermal decomposition, contamination or unremoved organic solvent may damage the quality of product, this might result in fatal effect on the life of consumer. This industry is very quality intensive industry hence all the process equipment and dyers required must be of high quality and meet the industry standard. At  Kerone , we are having immense experience in handling such need for such high quality and precise processing industries, with our custom designed and built dryers and process equipment.
