How to Dry/Dehydrate Almost Any Solid

Continuous drying systems can effectively dry or dehydrate many products in the process markets. When considering continuous-conveyor vs. fluid-bed or rotary industrial dryers, keep these points in mind.

Improving Efficiency in Fluid-Bed Drying

Dryer design changes can help boost thermal, energy and operational efficiencies.
Larry Stoma, Witte Co.
April 18, 2019
No Comments

Fluid-bed dryers offer an inherently efficient method of moisture removal that has not changed since the systems were developed in the 1950s. The introduction of ever-improving control technologies — personal computer-based and PLC control systems, smart sensors and other technological advances — in the last 40 years, however, has changed how process engineers operate their fluid-bed drying systems.

It’s a point of pride that I have every issue of Process Heating ever published cataloged in a small library in my home office. Admittedly, it’s not as tidy as you might find at your local library. I tend to stack issues that I “check out” on the floor in front of the library until it’s time to clean my office. And, while my lazy filing means a career as a bibliophilic cataloger is doubtful, it also provides opportunities for rediscovery.

Fluid Bed Drying System Recycles Nitrogen to Reduce Explosion Risk

March 19, 2019
No Comments

Designed to recycle nitrogen to increase the amount of nitrogen in the process air to 85 percent to render combustion impossible, the fluid-bed drying system has an integral baghouse dust collector set directly above the fluid-bed drying zone to create a sealed system.

Integral Dust Collector for Dryer Recovers Product, Eliminates Waste

February 19, 2019
No Comments

Drying system includes an integral baghouse dust collector positioned directly above the fluid bed drying zone. The configuration is designed to contain all of the fine particles entrained in the airstream and allow them to remain in the dryer for processing as product rather than collecting them remotely or accepting their loss as waste.

5 Considerations When Recycling Air and Material in Fluid-Bed Drying

Does recycling the exhaust air makes sense for your process?
Larry Stoma, Witte Co.

No Comments

It is no coincidence that the energy-cost-reducing technology used to recover and reuse heated process air in fluid-bed drying systems was developed during the energy crisis of the 1970s.

Drying Systems Can Handle Any Process Condition

Industrial drying system designs include rotary dryers, calciners, screw presses, multidisc thermal processors, flash dryers and fluid bed dryers. What they all have in common is they are used to remove excess moisture from the product being processed.  Available heat sources range from hot fluids and steam to gas and electric. In this photo gallery, the advantages and disadvantages of some dryer designs are explored.
