Introduction
Chapter 1 (continued)
Instrument Description
The dryer is of simple, compact design, conveniently portable and easy to
operate, the only requirement being a mains power supply.
The source of power should be within the reach of the instrument lead so
that no extension wires are required. The instrument contains the air
distribution system, heater element, thermostat, and electrical controls.
There are many types of tub assemblies to choose from which can be used
with the Fluid Bed Dryer. Please contact Endecotts for details.
The FBD incorporating the full range of options is illustrated below. This
dryer enables the operator to have complete control a compile a record of
the drying process. The main components are shown below: -
Air is drawn in through a Stainless Steel Inlet filter in the back of the
instrument and blown by the centrifugal fan over a 2kW electrical heater and
through stainless steel filter gauze at the top of the dryer body. A Pulse Flow
Unit (optional extra) is situated after the inlet filter, which can intermittently
shut the inlet air on and off, which acts as an additional means of fluidising a
difficult sample. A 5 litre sealed glass tub is shown having a tub base
which attaches to the instrument by means of a bayonet fitting. There is an
“O” ring seal between the tub assembly and the instrument. At the inlet of
the tub assembly, there is a 60 mesh stainless steel support filter and a fine-
mesh nylon filter.
