Dust recovery hood

The Witte Company’s dust recovery hood for vibrating fluid bed dryers and coolers features a proprietary design that allows on-spec particles entrained in the airstream to be captured and gently returned into the process for recovery as finished product. Engineered with an expanding, tapered profile that reduces the airflow velocity as the process air rises, the dust recovery hood cuts the volume of product lost as waste and boosts the ratio of finished product at discharge per unit of input.
