Intelligent solutions in thermal handling of bulk materials The Coperion heat exchanger is a proven technology. In many bulk materials handling processes it is necessary to thermally treat (cool or heat) powders, pellets and granules. The Coperion Bulk-X-Change heat exchanger is highly efficient, compact and low cost. It offers an ideal solution for thermally treating powders, pellets and granules in many industries. - Patented distributor plate at product inlet - Applicable for free-flowing bulk solids such as plastics, fertilizers, minerals and food - Compact design without moving parts - Controlled discharge at outlet with metering devices (e.g. rotary valves) The Principle / Conceptsa Depending on whether the product exists as granular or as fine powder, we distinguish between different application concepts: Bulk-X-Change - Gravity, Inline Gravity, or Inline. Bulk-X-Change Gravity The original design was developed for free-flowing coarse powders and pellets. The bulk material flows from top to bottom due to gravitational forces through the vertical tubes which are surrounded by a heating or cooling medium on the shell side. As a result the bulk material is either heated or cooled. Bulk-X-Change Inline Gravity If vertical installation in the process building is not possible due to lack of height, the Inline Gravity concepts can be used for free-flowing coarse powders and pellets. The Bulk-X-Change heat exchanger is then integrated into a pneumatic dilute-phase conveying system and the heat exchanger can be positioned as required.
