Fluidized Bed Dryer
Fluidized Bed Dryer
Description
A Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD) is an advanced industrial drying system used to efficiently remove moisture from powders, granules, or crystalline materials. It works by passing hot air through a perforated bed of solid particles, which fluidizes the material, resulting in uniform drying, reduced drying time, and improved product quality. Widely used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and agro industries, the FBD offers energy-efficient and consistent drying performance.
