This Buhler OTW 150 is a continuous fluid bed dryer — a type of industrial mixer and blender used to dry, cool, and homogenise bulk materials by passing a controlled stream of air through a fluidised product bed. Buhler is a globally recognised Swiss engineering group with a long-established presence in grain processing, food production, and related industries, known for delivering high-capacity bulk-handling and processing equipment to demanding industrial applications.
Built in 2010 and located in Barneveld, Netherlands, this unit is constructed in stainless steel grade ), making it suitable for food-grade and chemically resistant process environments. It carries CE certification and is mounted on a structural frame with a compact footprint of 3.35 × 1.0 metres and a total height of 1.90 metres, giving it a relatively modest floorspace for the throughput it delivers.
The dryer is configured as a single-section continuous fluidbed unit with a heat-exchange surface of 1.5 m². Product enters and exits through DN200 connections, while the air circuit uses DN400 ducting for both inlet and outlet. Air cleaning is handled by pulse-jet (air pulse) cleaning, keeping the unit operating efficiently between cycles. A vibro motor is fitted to assist product flow through the bed.
The drive system includes a variable speed drive with a working range of 34 to 171 rpm, and a dedicated fan is included with the unit. The main motor is rated at 75 kW, configured for 290/500 V at 2,970 rpm, and is specified to Ex (explosion-proof) standard — an important detail for applications involving flammable dusts or atmospheres.
Processing performance is well documented: throughput capacity reaches a maximum of 2,250 kg/h, and the cooling air volume is approximately 8,100 m³/h. The unit is rated to a maximum operating temperature of 200 °C, broadening its suitability across both drying and thermal processing applications. The machine carries serial number and is offered in used condition.
