The fluidizing bed can be installed onto cylindrical exterior or interior storage silos, as well as weighing and storage containers, using a bored mating flange (container must be vented to the atmosphere). The product outlet is directly connected to the downstream unit, creating a tight, closed system.
The fluidizing bed also offers further applications: Mixing, drying, temperature control, recrystallization. Allow our experts to advise you so you can implement an engineering design that is tailored to your specific application.
Characteristics
- Output that is gentle on bulk materials, by means of pneumatic activation of the bulk material column
- Bulk material fluidizing allows for even/pulsation-free output
- Optimized gas consumption plus maximum discharge capacity
- Optimized structural arrangement of chambers allows for (virtually) residue-free discharge
- Wide range of applications such as fluidizing, discharging, mixing, drying and temperature control are all covered by a single product
- Durable and low-maintenance
- Gas distribution funnel with aeration base featuring injection nozzle, inlet and outlet flange
- Upper cone opening with flange coupling for connection to container, lower cone opening with flange joint for rotary valve, conveying screw, gutter, sealing caps or other conveyors
- Cone with optimized number of chambers depending on size and application
- Funnel gradient of 60° or 110° depending on application and installation situation
- Robust design adapted to silo load and contents
- External cone in powder-coated steel or stainless steel
- Aeration base made from polyethylene sintered plates, also available in stainless steel sintered plates if required for your application (sintered stainless steel)
- Stainless steel terminal strip
- No dead space
- Temperature resistance between -10° and 70°C (operational and mechanical design temperature)
- ATEX-compliant
Equipment configurations, options and accessories:
- Can be operated as an aeration unit with process gas reservoir including accessories (60° funnel gradient) or with aeration unit for compact blower (110° funnel gradient)
- Pipe fittings and pipe system
