Fluidbed units

A fluidbed is an effective unit to thermally treat powders, crystalline products, pelletized or extruded materials. High heat and mass transfer are obtained as a result of the intimate contact between fluidizing air and product.

Static fluidbed

units in continuous and batch type for more uniform materials that do not tend to agglomerate. It is possible to install submerged heat exchangers in a deep static bed. With submerged heat exchangers energy input is both from the fluidizing air as well as from the heat exchangers reducing the size of the equipment and limiting the exhaust air volume.

Shaking fluid bed

units for continuous operation and suitable for sticky materials with a wide particle size distribution. The shaking motion improves the fluidization and transport of any material within the fluid bed. Drying gas temperature up to 750 °C and product temperatures up to 400 °C are achieved.

Air handling equipment

associated with the above drying systems including air heating systems, cyclone separators, bag houses, wet scrubbers, ducting etc.

Decontamination plants

for treating food products both at high pressure and atmospheric pressure. Products are exposed to a live steam atmosphere for a short and determined period to reduce the bacterial load of the material. After steam treatment the products are dried and cooled in either a fluid bed or a flash dryer.

Belt dryers

for continuous drying of pellets or agglomerates mainly used for products that are not suitable for fluid bed drying. The materials that are sticky, of which the particle size is too large or the required residence time above 1 hour. These dryers are manufactured with single and multi-stage belts. Housing and belts in mild or stainless steel.

Flash dryers

for fine sized materials and removing mainly surface moisture. Wet material is conveyed and dried in a hot air stream, drying is typically achieved within seconds.
