The Mitchell Fluid-Bed Dryer is fluid bed type dryer based upon the plug flow principal operating just below product fluidising velocity. Drying is assisted by agitation of the product bed which not only reduces air velocity but also aids mixing of the bed and control of residence time.
The heart of the Mitchell sludge drying system is a Steam Tube Rotary Dryer and blender to convert the material into stable dust-free granules. The low exhaust volume helps to achieve legislative standards for emission levels.
