Anhydro Fluid Bed Dryers
Fluid beds can be used for processing of most types of powdered products. Anhydro fluid bed processes include drying, agglomeration, spray coating, cooling, dedusting and lecithination. SPX offers Anhydro batch and continuous fluid beds, as well as fluid beds to be integrated into multi-stage spray drying plants.

Function and principle of operation
Using intimate air-to-product contact, Anhydro fluid beds are designed to ensure good heat transfer coefficients and to avoid degradation reactions in heat-sensitive products. Processing is performed in a single step or as part of a multistage drying operation.
