For food and chemical applications for
example, ANDRITZ offers accurate
residence time control as well as fluid
bed drying/cooling and granulation
systems as fully customized process
solutions suitable for any bulk
materials used in the chemical,
minerals, and food industries. The
fluid bed dryer operates in open
systems as well as in closed, inert gas
loops to keep the dried granules in
evenly floating motion (fluid bed).
Besides standard setups for such high-
capacity applications as soda, polymer,
and fertilizer drying for example, the
technology range is also suitable for
sophisticated applications requiring
highest safety or efficiency standards
with maximum operating reliability.
ANDRITZ fluid bed systems are able
to handle inflammable, combustible,
and dust-explosive products as well as
materials with critical flowability, high
moisture content, or even liquid feed
materials.
