Vibrating Fluid Bed Coolers

Vibrating Fluid Bed Coolers

CARRIER VIBRATING FLUID BED COOLERS ARE DESIGNED TO COOL A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS AT A WIDE VARIATION OF FEED RATES.

Vibrating fluid bed coolers function by passing process air directly through a bed of solids via a perforated plate or another type of fluidizing media. Vibration is added to aid in fluidization of more difficult to fluidize materials.

VIBRATING FLUID BED COOLERS ARE WELL SUITED FOR:

• Material that has a wide particle size distribution — vibration will help to discharge oversize particles that will not fluidize.
• Sluggish or sticky materials.
• Fragile materials — low amplitude fluid bed cooler vibration and reduced fluidizing velocity create a gentle bed, which causes less degradation than conventional fluid bed coolers or other mechanical coolers.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF CARRIER VIBRATING FLUID BED COOLERS:

• Material is continuously mixed while cooling — homogeneous with no hot spots!
• Lower fluidizing velocities are required, making the fluid bed cooler system more thermally efficient.
• Easy to clean and maintain.
• Re-circulated gas and closed-loop fluid bed cooler systems available for inert atmosphere or solvent recovery.
• Clean-in-place and fire suppression fluid bed cooler systems available where necessary.
• Carrier’s patented Delta-Phase® Drive option permits on-line adjustment of angle of vibration and precise retention time control.
• Sanitary, U.S.D.A. (3A) approved construction.
