Features & Benefits

  • A bench top unit for the rapid drying of chemicals, foodstuffs and minerals prior to sieve analysis and other tests.

  • Fast: Drying times range from a few seconds to minutes.

  • Efficient: The FBD is simply the most efficient method of drying samples for analysis.
    High rates of heat transfer ensure faster and more homogeneous drying than oven, microwave or vacuum drying.

  • Versatile: Suitable for most granular and powder materials.

  • Reproducible results: Precise controls ensure uniform and reproducible results.

  • Easy to use: Manageable controls with straightforward settings.

The FBD 2000 offers significant advantages over conventional drying techniques:

  • High air flow rates provide high rates of heat transfer and ensure much faster and more homogeneous drying than other methods such as oven, microwave and vacuum drying.

  • Drying times range from a few seconds to minutes. Complete drying is usually achieved in under 15 minutes.

  • High air flow thoroughly mixes and separates the particles minimising the risk of abrasion and the formation of lumps.

  • Drying is achieved at lower temperatures and without hot spots.

  • Settings are accurately repeatable and provide uniform and reproducible results.

  • Materials with a moisture content of up to 80% may be dried.

The FBD 2000 is a compact, portable dryer. Its powerful air delivery system makes drying a very fast operation. The fluidisation mixes and separates the particles minimising the risk of abrasion and the creation of lumps resulting in a truly representative sample. The comprehensive set of controls makes it ideal for use in the laboratory on a wide selection of materials.
