benefits of westrups dryer beds

Westrup dryer beds provide gentle and uniform drying that helps preserve seed and grain quality while improving process efficiency. Their optimized airflow and low-temperature drying reduce the risk of overheating, cracking, and uneven moisture levels, helping maintain high germination and product quality. The systems are energy efficient, easy to operate, and suitable for a wide range of crops and capacities.

flow of a dryer bed

Seeds are fed into the fluid bed dryer, where heated air is forced upward through a perforated distribution plate, suspending and mixing the seeds in a fluidized state. The air removes moisture from the seed surface, and the moisture-laden exhaust air is extracted through a filtration system. The dried seeds are then cooled and discharged for further processing or storage.

faq on fluid dryer beds

Our fluid bed dryers are designed as a surface dryer to use after a chemical treatment process and can be used for most kinds of treated seeds.
The inlet section is built to ensure an even spread of product over the full working width of the machine.
The dryer has a vibrating screen with heavy suction which creates an airflow through the screen and on to the product, drying the liquid on the seeds.
Hot air can be added if there is a very high amount of liquid added to the seeds.
If your product demands a high percentage of liquid added in the seed treater the fluidized bed dryer is essential to avoid wet seeds from sticking together, creating problems in the sowing process.
