Oliver DVX Vibrating Fluidized Bed Dryers are a deluxe version of our legendary dryers. Complete with the bells and whistles like touch screen control panels and automation, the DVX series prevents product clumping, simplifies cleanup, and improves the finished appearance of seed coatings and treatments. And all while cutting dry time! This fluid bed dryer machine is a revolutionary solution to the frustrations of clumping and bridging treated seeds and edibles. The vibrating fluid bed dryer uses a combination of air in motion through a vibrating, tilted table. Seed flow is converted to a “fluidized” suspension, making gentle, uniform drying possible for coated, treated, or washed seeds.
Key features:
Removes up to 800 pounds (363 kg) of water per hour
Multiple heating fuel options
Multiple presets and preloaded recipes
Decks are designed and built to product specifications with custom overcover and undercover screens.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for easy adjustment of fan speed
Tracks and saves batch information
How do Oliver Manufacturing dryers work?
Oliver Manufacturing fluidized bed dryers use controlled airflow, deck vibration, and deck angle to lift wet product into a gently suspended, fluid-like state. As the material moves across the deck, air passes evenly around each particle, evaporating moisture while the vibration helps break apart clumps and keeps the product moving toward discharge.
Operators adjust airflow, deck speed, and deck angle to control drying time and product movement. The result is faster, more uniform drying with less clumping, improved flowability, and gentler handling of coated, treated, or washed seeds and other products. The automated DVX series manages these settings through a touchscreen and programmable controls, while standard FBD models use manual controls.
In the fluidized bed drying process, (a) wet product enters the vibrating deck, (b) upward airflow lifts and suspends the particles while moisture evaporates, and (c) deck motion and angle move the dried, free-flowing product toward discharge.
