Dried to the point – Thermal processes in the fluid bed (German article)
Fluid bed technology is ideally suited for carrying out heat and mass transfer processes, which are in demand during drying. Particles can be simultaneously refined and functionalized economically in parallel with drying by means of spray granulation, spray coating or spray agglomeration. The selection of the right drying process is challenging: it depends on the prevailing conditions in each case and requires a holistic approach. (article in German language)
