A vibratory fluidized bed dryer includes a deck with a surface on which a bed of materials is formed, the deck having apertures through which air passes to fluidize the bed of materials on the deck, a source of air coupled to the apertures in the deck to supply air to the bed through the apertures in the deck, and a vibration generator coupled to the deck. The deck has at least two zones, each zone having a different open area percentage, such that the air passing through each zone produces a different superficial velocity.

A polyethylene terephthalate purification apparatus comprises at least a reactor (4) which houses the plastic material to be purified, an opening connected to a vacuum pump, stirrers (16) to ensure the stirring of the plastic material inside of the reactor (4) and a heating mechanism comprising a microwave heating device to promote the excitation of the polar molecules.

The present invention discloses a high-moisture sludge ultra-fine synchronizing deep-drying device and a method thereof. The device has a sludge ultrafine pulverizing unit and a sludge drying unit arranged horizontally in parallel, and a pulverized sludge discharge port arranged between them. The sludge ultrafine pulverizing unit comprises a sludge pulverizing chamber and a sludge feeding port, and the sludge pulverizing chamber is a hollow cylindrical structure with a pulverizing rotation shaft arranged in the center, and the pulverizing rotation shaft is provided with a sludge pulverizing impeller. The lower part of the sludge feeding port is provided with a first baffle and/or a second deflector. The sludge is pulverized into sludge powders in the sludge pulverizing chamber, and then fed into the sludge drying chamber to be fluidized and dried. The present invention has the advantage of high drying efficiency, etc.

A drying device (10) for drying an item (50) has a vibration plate (20) and a charge generator (30). The vibration plate (20) is operable to vibrate to force water droplets off the item (50) when in contact with the vibration plate (20). The charge generator (30) generates an electrostatic charge on the vibration plate (20) to hold the item (50) in contact with the vibration plate (20) during operation of the vibration plate (20).

The present invention relates to the use of a mechanical apparatus to convey a workpiece through a fluidized bed dryer. In particular, the invention relates to a single or multiple stage vibrating fluidized drag conveyor having spaced apart conveyor paddles attached to a continuous chain or a similar device, and driven by a variable frequency motor drive. The invention is of particular applicability in the case of low-density workpieces where chaotic motion of air may disrupt or reverse the orderly flow of workpieces through the dryer.

Methods and devices for agitating material. In some embodiments, an agitator is positioned in a receptacle to agitate material therein. The agitator may include a shaft, an arm extending from the shaft, and at least one knife extending from the arm. In some embodiments, the agitator may further include one or more agitator elements operably connected to at least one knife.

A fluidized bed dryer may include a deck, an eccentric, and a blower. A heater may or may not be included. The deck of the fluidized bed dryer may vibrate due to motion of the eccentric. The blower may blow air through the deck of the fluidized bed dryer to dry material on the deck. As the material dries, the material moves across the deck, due to the vibration. The deck bed depth may be increased, which may allow for even process air flow distribution and control of conveyance speed and residence time. The fluidized bed dryer may include a controller configured to implement a drying process that may include one or more of temperature, moisture content, and relative humidity data to optimize product throughput while ensuring a desired degree of dryness.
