XERBIS XB

Summary

The Xerbis is a high-efficiency agitating media dryer drying liquid or slurry material. The material receives the dispersion force from agitating ball media, suitable for drying paste or slurry materials. For drying adhesive or viscous material, the conventional dryer can not be operated due to sticking problem. With unique drying mechanism, Xerbis can be applied for these materials.

Principle

The Xerbis is provided with the dispersion zone with balls at its bottom section. The slurry is fed to this zone and is dispersed by ball media. The dispersed slurry forms a thin layer on the surfaces of the ball media. Hot air is induced to dispersion zone through bottom slit, and the material on the surface of the balls is dried. The dried thin layer is peeled off from the ball and is conveyed to a product collector by process air. Xerbis consists of dryer body, furnace, feeder, bag filter, and blower. Closed circuit drying system can be designed on request.
