SHERWOOD M501 LAB SCALE DRYER
WHAT IS FLUID BED DRYING?
By forcing enough gas (air) through a bed of particles, the bed may
assume a fluid-like state (resembling a boiling liquid). Heating the
incoming air and managing air flow rate through the Model 501
provides thorough mixing and maximum contact of solid with moving air.

The Sherwood M501 Lab Scale Dryer is engineered for precise fluid bed drying, a process where gas is forced through a particle bed, allowing it to behave like a fluid. This innovative method enhances both efficiency and effectiveness when compared to traditional drying techniques. With controlled air heating and airflow management, the M501 achieves superior mixing and optimal contact between solids and air, ensuring uniform drying results.
Fluid bed drying utilizes a flow of hot gas to lift and circulate particles, creating a dynamic environment that promotes rapid moisture removal. This method excels in producing consistent and reproducible results, making it ideal for laboratory and small-scale production applications.
With the Sherwood M501, enhance your laboratory's capabilities in powder and liquid sample drying, defined by accuracy and compliance. This instrument is suited for a range of applications, including pharmaceutical development and quality control. For additional details, consult the following resources:
