Vibrating Fluid Bed Coolers

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.


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.
