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.

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.
