Model 501 Fluid Bed Dryer
Standalone Fluid Bed Dryer
The base unit and specified tub assembly for standalone operation.
Microprocessor control of air flow, inlet air temperature and drying period; coupled with fluid bed action gives highly reproducible experiments and finished material samples.
The Model 501 Fluid Bed Dryer is the latest model from Sherwood and has membrane sealed controls to prevent particle ingress and reduced operating noise.
Programmable Fluid Bed Dryer
Dryer base with Specified tub assembly, connected to a PC hosting Sherwood’s Fluid Bed Dryer Software programme. The software allows control of all variable functions, data monitoring, feedback and creation of multi-step drying protocols designed to dry samples in the most efficient manner. The Model 501 Fluid Bed Dryer can be programmed (via the computer interface) to step through up to 16 drying steps with the following parameters defined and controlled: timer, blower motor speed and inlet air temperature. An optional pulse flow module can also be controlled using the software package. These variable parameters may be monitored and recorded throughout the drying programme. Each programme step may be terminated manually or when a pre-set time or condition (outlet temperature or relative humidity) has been achieved; whichever conditions occurs first.
Analytical Fluid Bed Dryer
The base unit and specified analytical tub assembly (fitted with auxiliary combined temperature and relative humidity probe) connected to a PC hosting Sherwood Scientific Ltd’s Fluid Bed Dryer Software programme. The Sherwood Scientific Model 501 Fluid Bed Dryer is a Lab Scale (Bench Top) dryer with a maximum sample capacity of 5Kg.
Accessories & Consumables
There is a wide variety of drying tubs (volume), inlet & outlet filters, and other accessories available; both to handle as a wide range of sample types as possible and enhance the capability of the drying system.
