Fluidized Bed Dryer (Standard)

  • Oliver FBD-410 Non-automated fluidized bed dryer.

Oliver Fluidized Bed Dryers 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 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.
