The simple mechanism of our fluid bed dryers that provides product transport is both heavy duty and robust. This assures low maintenance and a long equipment life.
The Ventilex transport design is simple, dependable, and reliable. With our exclusive "shaking" motion, you are assured of "first in, first out" of your product. Ventilex can achieve fluidization, and also sub-fluidization of your product, allowing the desired plug flow characteristics.
Our years of experience can be your advantage. We will custom design a cooler to meet your strictest requirements, and build it using the highest quality materials and workmanship. So, give us a call or complete the short form below to receive additional information.

How it works

In a Fluid Bed, a product or solid is made fluid by an upward-moving flow of gas.
The mechanical movement of the Fluid Bed strengthens this effect. Thus the gas and product are intensively mixed, so that high heat transfer and an optimum physical reaction speed are achieved. By choosing a good combination of gas speed and mechanical movement, you can process
granular products with a wide range of grain sizes successfully while forming a minimum amount of dust.
Both the static and mechanical Ventilex Fluid Bed can function at temperatures from –15ºC to +600ºC. The gas speed can vary from 0.2 to 3m/sec.

VENTILEX Manufactures Fluid Bed Dryers for all different types of applications.. For Dairy, Food and Hygienic applications, we offer our CIP design. We take an engineered and system approach. We know that no two applications are exactly alike. For inert materials, we offer our High Temperature Design, which allows for big cost savings!

High Temperature Design

One of the features that will could save you money on equipment costs and operating costs, is our ability to use high temperatures for drying. Ventilex is the only Fluid Bed Dryer manufacturer that can reach steady state air temperature drying of 600 C [1112 F] in our equipment! Higher temperatures mean more drying air volume, which translates to big savings for you!
