Seame Fluid Bed Dryers – MTSFBD
High-Efficiency Drying System for Sesame Processing Lines
MarkoomTech Sesame Fluid Bed Dryer (MTSFBD) is an advanced industrial drying solution designed for efficient, uniform, and controlled moisture removal in sesame processing plants. It is specifically engineered for hulled sesame after peeling or washing, ensuring optimal moisture levels for roasting, storage, or further processing.
This system delivers continuous drying performance, energy efficiency, and hygienic operation for modern sesame production lines.
Working Principle:
The MTSFBD operates on the principle of fluidization technology, where heated air is passed through a perforated distribution plate to suspend and dry particles uniformly.
Process Overview:
The MTSFBD operates on the principle of fluidization technology, where heated air is passed through a perforated distribution plate to suspend and dry particles uniformly.
- Ambient air is drawn by a high-efficiency centrifugal blower
- Air is filtered through a multi-stage air filtration system
- Clean air is heated via steam heat exchanger or electric heater
- Heated air is evenly distributed through a perforated air plate
- Sesame particles are fluidized for maximum heat and mass transfer
- Moisture is removed through continuous airflow and exhaust system
This process ensures fast, uniform, and controlled drying without product damage.
Product Overview:
The fluid bed dryer consists of a fluidization chamber mounted on a rigid structural frame. It is equipped with vibro motors to enhance particle fluidization and material transport. The system includes a rotary feeder and an exhaust system. It also incorporates an industrial centrifugal fan, dust hood, and a process air system with a high-capacity blower and thermal unit (steam or gas-fired) to supply controlled heated air.
The fluidization chamber enables efficient heat and mass transfer by keeping particles suspended, ensuring uniform drying. The rotary feeder provides precise feed control, while the discharge system regulates residence time and final moisture content.
A precision air distribution plate ensures uniform airflow and maintains the required pressure drop for stable fluidization. The exhaust system, including a cyclone, removes moisture-laden air and recovers fines. A PLC-based control system monitors and regulates temperature, airflow, and pressure for stable and efficient operation.
Main Components:
- Vibrating fluidization chamber
- Precision perforated air distribution plate
- Vibrating motors for controlled material movement
- Rotary feeder for stable material feeding
- Hot air generation system (steam or electric heater)
- High-pressure centrifugal blower
- Induced draft exhaust fan
- Cyclone separator or dust filtration system
- PLC-based automation control panel
Working Principle:
Fluid bed drying operates by drawing process air through a blower and passing it through a filtration system. The filtered air is heated to a controlled setpoint using a steam heat exchanger or electric heater, based on product requirements.
The conditioned hot air is supplied to the plenum chamber beneath the fluidized bed. It is then distributed through a perforated air plate. This airflow passes through the material bed, causing particle suspension, circulation, and uniform moisture removal.
In vibrating systems, mechanical vibration may be applied to:
Improve material movement
Prevent agglomeration
Enhance heat transfer
Maintain stable bed depth
The process ensures efficient drying with controlled residence time and uniform final moisture content.
Vibrating Fluid Bed Drying Process for Sesame
In sesame processing lines, the MTSFBD is used after hulling and washing stages.
Step-by-step operation:
- Feeding System
- Hulled sesame with 12–15% moisture is fed into the drying chamber.
- Fluidization & Vibration
- Vibrating motors create controlled movement and prevent agglomeration.
- Hot Air Drying
- Heated air passes through the bed, suspending particles evenly.
- Moisture Removal
- Moisture evaporates instantly due to high heat transfer efficiency.
- Exhaust & Separation
- Moist air and fines are removed via cyclone or bag filter system.
- Controlled Discharge
- Dried sesame exits with uniform final moisture content.
