Kason’s Vibro-Bed circular fluid bed drying system integrates a 30-in. (762mm) diameter fluid bed processing chamber with an electric heater, blower and control panel on 2 shippable frames ready for onsite connection to a power source, dust collector and material inlet/outlet. Reductions in material, weld seams and associated labor decrease fabrication cost when units are finished to FDA, USDA, BISSC or 3-A standards. Stainless steel material contact surfaces reduce cleaning time.
