Fluid Bed Dryer

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.

Tema Process offers an automated Clean-In-Place (CIP) System that provides a reliable, repeatable cleaning cycle for processing plants to operate efficiently and cost effectively to meet stringent hygienic practices for sanitary processing. The CIP System utilizes fixed or retractable CIP spray nozzles that are designed specifically to remain in place during production. These nozzles minimizes downtime and increases available production time.

This type of Fluid bed system has several inlet and exhaust air compartments, each of which is equipped with its own supply air system (heating or cooling). Process parameters for each zone (temperature and flow) can therefore be adjusted to provide maximum control of the process and product characteristics.
The system can handle multiple recipes with varying process parameters.
A multi-zone shaking fluid bed dryer is a proven solution for the processing of food and manufacturing chemical products and is capable of producing […]

Tema Fluidbed dryer for sludge (paper)

Energy savings with Tema Process sand dryers. Dryers are available from 2 t/h up to 200 t/h.

Back Mix System for Fluid Bed Dryers: The back mix system is used for materials that can not fluidise due to the high moisture content of the material.
Sticky material, wetcake from the filter press, slurry, sludge or even a solution is mixed with dried product. This back mix flow enables better fluidisation and drying. The fluid bed dryer dries the material at low temperatures and uses the waste heat available to ensure optimum use of heat energy. The high speed […]

Generally, many salts are used as sources to produce agricultural fertilizers. Potassium is one of the basic chemical ingredients used for promoting plant growth. Refined potash salts, obtained from either ores or brines, are the only economically significant sources of potassium used in fertilizers. Soluble salt minerals comprise a variety of industrially significant materials including KCl, NaCl, KNO3 and NaNO3. Alkali sulfates such as K2SO4 and Na2SO4 and double salts such as carnallite (KCl.MgCl2.6H2O), kainite (KCl.MgSO4.3H2O) and schoenite (K2SO4.MgSO4.5H2O).

The TEMA Process Pulse Jet Baghouse dust collector (for the fluid bed dryer) provides easy and dependable operation for high-volume dust collection applications. An enormous number of construction variations are possible considering the variables in number of covers, number of bags in the length rows and filter bags length. The bags are protected by standard wear protection shields.
Bag filter cleans itself by means of compressed air pulse (hoses are shaking / expended by compressed air flow). Compressed air is supplied […]

Dryer: Heat Recovery-Energy Savings: Pre-heating the supply air (ambient air) with energy from the exhaust air ! Substantial energy savings have been shown by heat recovery from the Tema fluid bed dryer exhaust air stream (10-25%). The heat exchanger (air-air) and ducting are manufactured in stainless steel AISI304L.
