Product catalog summary
Introduction
BellaTM dryers and coolers offer a revolutionary method for drying or cooling powders, granulates, and filter cakes through efficient mixing of air and product. The unique design of the Bella mixer enhances the drying or cooling process by maximizing air exposure to the product in a weightless zone, ensuring uniform particle size, moisture, and temperature.

Specifications and Features
The Bella system operates with high thermal efficiency, achieving up to 80% efficiency through adiabatic evaporation. It requires smaller air volumes compared to traditional fluidizing dryers and can handle operating temperatures from -150°F to +900°F. The system supports multiple functions such as drying, mixing, spraying, agglomerating, and cooling without additional equipment.

System Configurations
Two systems are available:
  • Open Loop System: Utilizes ambient air that passes through a heater and mixer, with the moist air filtered and discharged into the atmosphere.
  • Closed Loop System: Similar to the open loop but includes a condenser to remove moisture, making it suitable for drying toxic materials as it prevents fumes from escaping.


Drying Procedure
The drying process involves optimizing air/gas flow, temperature, and relative humidity. The supply air inlet temperature is maximized to reduce drying time, and a small percentage of moisture is retained to maintain material temperature. The efficiency is gauged by the proximity of exhaust air temperature to product temperature.

Safety and Customization
For explosive materials, inert gases like nitrogen or argon can be used to prevent oxidation and ensure safety. The Bella dryer is customizable for batch or continuous operations, with sizes ranging from a few pounds to tons per hour.

Conclusion
The Bella dryer and cooler system by Dynamic Air Inc. offers a highly efficient and versatile solution for industrial drying and cooling needs, with customizable options to suit various applications.

Bella™ Dryers and Coolers-1

This maximizes the total surface which is exposedto the air, increasing the desired effect. The drying process will go through an adiabatic evaporation with thermal efficiency as much as 80 percent. Only small air volumes are required compared to other fluidizing dryers.The dryer can be used for drying, mixing, spraying,agglomerating and cooling in the same unit without additional equipment or costs. Bella > TM dryers and coolers are unique and offer anew method of drying or cooling powders, granu- lates and filter cakes. The super fast mixing capabil- ity of the Bella mixer makes it an ideal heater or cooler, since the process of drying or cooling is simply the mixing of air and product.The Bella mixer is effective at mixing air and mate-rial because the air is exposed to product in the weightless zone of the mixer for optimum contact. Also, because all material in the mixer is constantly moving, the heated or cooled air must take a longer path through the material itself, thus increasing its total exposure time to the material and improving its performance and efficiency. In addition, the low shear and constant agitation in the mixer produce a material uniform in particle size, moisture and temperature.This operation is extremely efficient because the airflows around the material while it is suspended. > Homogeneous drying of batch caused by rotating paddles. Channels will not be formed as in other fluidizing dryers. Good energy economy due to high thermal efficiency. Operating temperatures from -150F to +900аF. Customized control system. Continuous monitoring of process. >

Drying procedure > The supply air inlet temperature is as high as theproduct will allow to reduce drying time to a mini- mum. Once the drying process has begun, the product temperature immediately rises to a prede- termined maximum allowable reading. A percent- age of moisture must be left in the product to act as a coolant and to maintain a steady material tem- perature.The exhaust air temperature will be slightly higherthan the product temperature and is a measure of the dryer's efficiency. The closer the relationship between the exhaust air and the product tempera- ture, the higher the thermal...
