Vibrating fluid bed coolers are used to cool a variety of products at a wide variation of feed rates. | |||
Vibrating fluid bed coolers function by passing a process gas 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 the following applications:''' | |||
♦Processing of material that has a wide particle size distribution. Vibration will help to discharge oversize particles that will not fluidize. | |||
♦Processing of sluggish or sticky materials. | |||
♦Processing of fragile materials. Low amplitude vibration and reduced fluidizing velocity create a gentle bed, which causes less degradation than conventional fluid beds or other mechanical coolers. |
