These dryers have a bed of solid particles, which are fluidized
by passing a stream of air or gas upward through a specially designed
perforated sheet. The upward velocity of air is so maintained
so as to slightly lift the solid particles and set them in motion.
This motion can be utilized to bring about mixing as well as forward
movement of the solids. The air or the gas is heated and the heat
is utilized to dry the solids. Fines get agglomerated to larger
particles thus providing large size granules.
A vibratory motor can also be used to provide a mechanical forward
motion to the fluidized solid particles.
