36Dryers Circular Fluid Bed Drying System Kason Corp s new Vibro Bed circular fluid bed drying system increases operating efficiency cuts cleaning time and reduces cost The inherent rigidity of the circular fluid bed processing chamber exceeds that of traditional rectangular fluid bed processors allowing materials of construction to be down gauged and vibratory motors to be downsized Associated components are also eliminated such as multiple air inlets and outlets the circular unit requiring only one of each As a result the dryer is said to be lighter stronger and more energy efficient at equivalent capacities Reductions in material weld seams and associated labor decrease fabrication cost particularly when units are finished to FDA USDA BISSC or 3A standards Kason Corp www kason com Write In 549 Food grade Vibrating Fluid Bed Drying and Cooling System The Witte Co s food grade vibrating fluid bed drying and cooling system reclaims up to 50 of the energy lost in the exhaust airstream Drawing the dry heated exhaust air through either a continuous pulse jet dust collector or cyclone the Witte dryer cooler captures the process air and returns it to a gas furnace for recycling Energy consumption and emissions to the environment are reduced along with the size of the carbon footprint Devised manufactured and in operation for a major global food processing company the sanitary process equipment features 100 stainless steel construction and food grade polish to meet FDA requirements for sanitary processing The Witte Co www witte com Write In 550 Separator Filter Dryer The SKF Separator Filter Dryer SFD system introduces an ideal solution for removing water contaminants and oil vapor from compressed air and help realize improved pneumatic equipment performance reduced need for maintenance increased uptime and higher productivity The compact unit is engineered to dry compressed air for pneumatic applications directly from a compressors reservoir tank or at a point of use eliminating the need for most external filters This innovative technology can be applied to serve pneumatic applications in a wide range of industries including cement and concrete aggregates and mining food and beverage processing and others where an uninterrupted supply of clean dry compressed air is critical SKF www skf com Write In 551 Write In 237 Write In 236 December 2012 www ProcessingMagazine com
