Our Fluid Beds systems are used in all kind of industries
Our Fluid Beds systems are used in all kind of industries where drying and cooling are elements of the production process. For example in the food industry: cereals, seeds, bread crumb, instant coffee, egg powder, nutraceuticals, sugar, dairy, starch, rice, salt, vitamins, xylitol, dextrose, aspartame, cocoa beans, sodium gluconate, maltodextrin, mannitol, pet food, spices, apple peel, orange and lemon, tomato pulp, seeds, cheese, coconut fibres, [...]
Fluidized bed coolers
Like a fluid bed dryer, the Fluid Bed Cooler also uses the principle of fluidisation for maximum exposure of surface for cooling action. Tema fluid bed coolers are designed to cool all kind of products at a variety of feed rates. The fluid bed coolers gently handle almost any product.
SOP, sulfate of potash (K2SO4) drying
SOP, sulfate of potash (K2SO4) is one of the most common potash fertilizers used by farmers to grow crops. There are operations that produce potash fertilizer by using salt mixtures from natural brines. This requires brine with high sulfate levels that are typically found in salt lakes. The steps in the processing of potash are usually separation, drying and compaction/granulation. In order to prevent and [...]
Fluid Bed dryer versus Rotary drum dryer
With a fluid bed dryer the drying air is more evenly distributed over the product. As a result, the drying air supply temperature and the product exit temperature can be maintained at constant, economical level, resulting in lower energy costs. A rotary drum dryer requires often a separate cooler. The cooler area represents about half the size of the fluid bed area and in the [...]
Fluid Bed Dryer/Cooler with Recirculation
Warm and relativ dry exhaust air from the cooling section is re-circulated and supplied to the gas burner, providing an additional energy savings of 10-15% and reducing the amount of air exhausted to atmosphere by up to 20-40%. The sand dryer control system is capable of adjusting the burner perfectly in real time to match whatever moisture content is in the sand. This results in [...]
Commissioning a chicken manure dryer
Chicken manure can be converted either into organic fertilizer or fuel. Why drying: To reduce manure weight: reducing storage and transport costs. Eliminate issues surrounding wet manure (odours /ammonia).
Reduce Risk with Low Temperature Fluid Bed Drying Systems
With the drying of biomass and organic fertilizers come the inherent risk of fires, explosions, VOC emissions (Volatile Organic Compounds) and fines. Biomass processing frequently involves material with high moisture content, a wide variety of particle sizes and strong odours. Energy-efficient fluid bed dryers facilitate high evaporation at low temperatures. For the heating of the thermal dryer , the waste heat is used from the [...]
Drying with Nitrogen instead of air
Drying with Nitrogen. Reducing the risk of explosion and reduction of emissions by using nitrogen as a safe and proven drying media. The system operates in a closed loop using an inert gas (nitrogen) in stead of air. The moisture is removed using a closed loop including a chilled water coil (condensation).
Drying Organic and inorganic fertilizers
Inorganic mineral fertilizers: Fluid bed dryers are widely used for the large scale production of inorganic fertilizers like potash, nitrate, calcium and magnesium. For corrosive elements materials of construction applied for inorganic fertilizer dryers and filters are AISI-304, AISI-316 and 904L. Organic fertilizers: Resulting from agricultural processing, organic fertilizer is an enhanced final product derived from agricultural waste streams. TEMA process has a vast experience [...]
Saving energy with Evaporative Cooling on a Tema Fluid Bed Dryer
Fluid bed dryers work on the principle of fluidization, a process in which hot air is introduced into the spaces between solid particles. Each particle is in direct contact with, and surrounded by, the hot air – creating an efficient and uniform drying process. The material is dried in the first section of the machine and cooled in the second. Most minerals can be dried [...]
