Vibratory Fluid Bed Dryer (VFBD)

PRINCIPAL

 Based on extensive R&D and field data it is proved that two temperative drying is ideally suited for tea as it enables immediate arrest of fermentation and chemical reactions and minimises loss of vital organic compound. The tea which is spread on the bed is fluidised by the combination of hot air and vibration of stainless steel Grid Plate. The bed vibrates while the hot air is passed from underneath the perforated plate and removes moisture from the wet tea. The fired fiber particles and dust are collected in the cyclone. The exhaust hot air is recirculated to improve the fuel effeciency.The dryer is suitable for any type of Heater, Oil, Coal, Wood fired heaters, steam and gas.

CONSTRUCTION

Steelsworth Vibratory Fluid Bed Dryer consists mainly of Vibratory chamber, Internal and 
External cyclone, hot air fan and duct, cold air blown with mix chamber. The grid plate 
vibrates on the crank which is driven by a motor. The vibrating system comprises of special
springs designed for prolonged life.
