Fluidization confers to a divided solid the properties of a fluid. Products with a wide particle size distribution or including large particles, cannot be processed in a static fluidization equipment. It is the same for products discharged from centrifuges which are sticky or include lumps and which will not permit treatment by direct fluidization. Comessa developed the vibrating fluidized bed to solve most of these delicate drying problems. In such case, vibration insures a better fluidization and allows transport of largest particles or lumps.
ADVANTAGES OF THIS TECHNOLOGY
Handling of sticky products (from centrifuges or filters)
Breaking soft lumps eventually formed during process
Adapted to a wide particle size distribution
Uniform product temperature, moisture and treatment
Low attrition of particles
High evaporation rate Reduced footprint and simplified layout
Easy adjustment (residence time, temperature, airflows)
Multiple processing in one single equipment
Adjustable fines removal ratio
MAIN APPLICATIONS
All kind of powders, crystals, beads, granules for all industries (chemical, food, mineral, etc .)
MAIN PROCESSES
Drying, cooling, calcining, reaction, roasting, dehydration, solvant removal, etc.
PILOT TEST LABORATORY
For determination of vibrating fluid bed parameters and possibility to perform semi industrial tests or rental of a complete pilot unit.
