Vibrating Fluid Bed
Designed to dry and/or cool a variety of products at a wide variation of feed rates.
Like conventional fluid bed processors, vibrating fluid beds function by passing a process gas directly through a bed of
solids via a perforated plate or another type of fluidizing media. Vibration is added to aid in fluidization of more difficult
to fluidize materials.
Vibrating fluid beds are well suited for the following applications:

- Processing of material that has a wide particle size distribution. Vibration will help to discharge oversize particles that
will not fluidize.
- Processing of sluggish or sticky materials.
- Processing of temperature sensitive materials. A subfluidized condition can be created to produce plug flow and eliminate
burning or discoloration.
- Processing of fragile materials. Low amplitude vibration and reduced fluidizing velocity create a gentle bed, which causes
less degradation than conventional fluid beds or other mechanical dryers.
