The principle of drying products in the Italian Scolari vibratory dryers (LFV series) is based on drying the product in what is called a boiling layer (fluidized bed). This is achieved by a combination of two methods:
- A relatively small area of the product is blown through by a strong flow of hot air, moving from the bottom upwards through a perforated drying table.
- The drying table on which the product is placed vibrates.
As a result, the product is in a suspended state, which facilitates its thorough aeration and rapid drying.
Vibratory fluidized bed dryers are suitable for processing materials with surface moisture, granulated products, or flowing powders, such as centrifuged eggshell, P.E.T., H.D.P.E., sea salt, resins, flour, polyethylene, rubber, sand etc.
They are also very effective for roasting soybeans, hazelnuts, almonds, and so on.
Like all horizontal dryers from the Italian company Scolari, the LFV series vibratory dryers can operate on any type of fuel: natural gas, liquefied gas, steam, diathermic oil, hot water, solid fuel (wood chips, pellets, straw, firewood, etc.).
Vibratory fluidized bed dryers use suitable operating temperatures for drying and disinfecting and/or removing contaminants from the material. Typically, the material is aerated for a short time but at elevated temperatures (80°C-250°C).
The body of the unit or the entire unit can be made from stainless steel AISI 304 or 316, depending on customer requirements.
Dryers with a pseudofluidized vibratory layer are also equipped with a dust suppression system featuring high-efficiency cyclones in accordance with the current regulations in your region.
The dryer can also be insulated and soundproofed.
Thanks to its small size, the installation can be placed on regular concrete pads, avoiding the need for foundation construction. Additionally, the vibratory dryer can be installed in any room or simply under a roof, enabling quick commissioning.
Scolari vibratory dryers also allow for partial recirculation of warm air, which helps reduce heat consumption (and consequently, fuel consumption).
