Fluid Bed Dryer

Sea salt is salt produced from the evaporation of seawater. Its use is practical only in warm climates where the evaporation rate exceeds the precipitation rate, either annually or for extended periods, and ideally, where there are steady prevailing winds. When an adequate layer of salt has built up on the pan floor, harvesting commences. A machine digs up the salt, deposits it onto a conveyor belt, which carries it to trucks. Contracted workers also harvest by hand. The raw salt is […]

Drying citrus peel on an industrial scale is a common process used to preserve the peels for various applications in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
The drying process removes the moisture from the peels, extending their shelf life and making them easier to handle and transport.
Drying citrus peels concentrates the natural flavour and aroma compounds present in the peels.
This concentrated flavour is valuable for use in various culinary and beverage applications, such as flavouring teas, infusions, and seasonings.
Waste reduction […]

The packed tower scrubbers are used to remove particulate and / or vapor contaminants from an exhaust gas stream by way of dilution or absorption.
A packed tower is an efficient method of carrying out mass transfer between gas and liquid phases. Packed tower scrubbers incorporate packing media
to facilitate intimate contact between a scrubbing liquid and gas to be scrubbed.
Applications are: reduction of dust or gaseous emission levels, product recovery, air pollution and odor control.
In countercurrent scrubber operation, the gas flows […]

Carbon black is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products. Traditionally Carbon Black (CB) has been used as both a reinforcing agent and filler in automobile tires. Along with better understanding of CB’s unique properties as a material, it is presently used in a much wider range of applications across a large variety of products – car tires, conveyor belts, inks, plastic pipes, rubber mats, shoe soles and so forth.

* Fluid Bed Technology is an energy efficient process to dry, cool and/or separate powder particles.
* The product falls into a fluid bed. Warm and cool air is introduced into an air plenum for gentle final drying, cooling, and/or separation of the product.
* Equipped with liquid-activated retractable CIP Spray Nozzles and Fire Suppression Nozzles that provide safe and hygienic processing.

Thermal drying is a process found in almost all industries. There are various choices of fluidized bed dryers available. Particles/powders are classified into major groups according to their characteristics when exposed to fluidizing gas stream, this is used as the main criteria for selection of Fluid Bed Dryer/Cooler for a particular application. An efficient drying technology: desired quality at minimum cost, low carbon footprint and little environmental impact In order to reduce investment costs one needs to enhance drying rates […]

Tema Process is the leading international manufacturer of fluidbed drying systems.

Static (non-shaking) fluidised bed or fluid bed (dryers and coolers) are used on free flowing fluidised bulk materials that have a narrow particle size distribution. The static fluid bed remains stationary during operation. Static fluid bed dryers can be continuous or batch operation and may be round or rectangular.
The other type of fluid bed dryer is a shaking fluid bed dryer or cooler, where the body of the dryer oscillates, assisting the movement of material through the unit and supporting the fluidisation […]

Fluid bed Process.
I often get the questions : What does fluidised bed mean? How does a fluidisation work? What is the purpose of fluidisation? Etc.
In a couple of chapters, I like to explain more about this technology/process and where the system can be used.
