Oliver DVX Fluidized Bed Dryers are a deluxe version of our legendary dryers. Complete with the bells and whistles like touch screen control panels and automation, the DVX series prevents product clumping, simplifies cleanup, and improves the finished appearance of seed coatings and treatments. And all while cutting dry time! This is a revolutionary solution to the frustrations of clumping and bridging treated seeds and edibles. The dryer uses a combination of air in motion through a vibrating, tilted table. Seed flow is converted to a “fluidized” suspension, making gentle, uniform drying possible for coated, treated, or washed seeds.

Models: DVX 304, DVX 307, DVX 410, DVX 512, DVX 616

  • A separate air system for operation is not required
  • Fluidization prevents erosion of the treated seed
Performance
  • Fluidizes and dries treated seed and untreated product(s) evenly
  • Decks are designed and built to product specification with custom overcover and undercover screen size determined for application need
  • Efficient air zone control from initial stratification through final discharge
  • Removes as much as 800 pounds of moisture per hour
Allen-Bradley Electronics

Ethernet control can integrate the FBD into the overall plant control system so it can be operated with minimal operator input and maximize the quality throughout the entire process.

Controlled fan speed

Fans allow air to lift seed off the deck at controlled temperatures. Fan speed is controlled with ambient or heated air, or a combination of both.

Larger Deck

A larger deck exposes a large quantity of seed to be exposed to a lot of air at the perfect temperature, resulting in the best quality seed with less biological damage.

Optional Custom Catwalk

If space is an issue, Oliver Manufacturing can build a customized catwalk to accommodate any limitations of the processing floor.
