Oliver Fluidized Bed Dryers for seeds prevent product clumping, simplify cleanup and improve the finished appearance of seed coatings and treatments. And all while cutting dry time! This is a revolutionary seed dryer solution to the frustrations of clumping and bridging treated seeds and edibles. The FBD 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.
