DRAIS Turbulent Fluid Bed Dryer
TURBUTHERM

Based on the succesful DRAIS Turbulent Mixer technology, coupled with a steam addition system and top mounted metal filters, the TURBUTHERM is the ideal process equipment for Drying, Tempering and Cooling of extremely problematic products, i.e. grainy, crumbly, crystalline, powdery and fibrous substances.

The DRAIS TURBUTHERM is the only Fluid Bed Dryer with a mechanically produced fluid bed, which means significantly improved energy efficiency and increased product quality.

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

The product is fed into the TURBUTHERM and mechanically agitated, thus creating a homogenous fluid bed. After the energy exchange via steam admission or by inroduction of a hot inert gas, i.e. nitrogen, the fluid leaves the drying chamber through a system of metal filters. The dry product discharges over a retaining weir into the discharge socket.

PROCESS ADVANTAGES

• Homogenous moisture/heat distribution within the product
• Optional continuous or discontinuous operation
• High efficicency due to optimum heating and cooling capabilities
• Ability to mix several different products simultaneously
• Elimination of process vibrations
• Space savings due to compact design
