FT31Fluidised Bed Dryer Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Food Machine Trainer
DESCRIPTION The dryer is of simple, compact design, conveniently portable and easy to operate, the only requirement being a mains power supply. Air is drawn through a mesh filter in the base of the cabinet and blown by a centrifugal fan over a 2kW finned electrical heater and through a stainless steel filter gauze. The air is then delivered to the distributor gauze at the base of the dryer body which supports the bed and distributes the air uniformly. The air blower is controlled by a thyristor circuit to give a smooth vibration over a wide range of motor speeds, enabling efficient fluidisation to be achieved for a variety of materials and giving fine control of the drying temperature. Readings are selected and displayed using a digital meter. The unit can be manually operated or interval timing can be carried out with the timer unit, which gives a 0-10 minute timing range and an alarm facility to notify completion of the operation. The tube unit locks into position on the cabinet top by a simple bayonet fitting and the base of the tube is removable to allow replacement of the distributor gauze. A filter bag is employed to retain any stray particles of the sample being fluidised, allowing the passage of the exit gases.
