In conjunction with Carrier, iBulk offers internationally renowned drying and cooling technology. Utilising fluidisation, a condition in which solid particles are placed in a state akin to that of a fluid, offers an effective and consistent drying and cooling environment is achieved. This in turn will result in a uniform end product.

The effectiveness of a standard dryer is evidenced by the fact that it typically uses 30-40% less fuel than a rotary dryer.

Advantages:

• Efficient heat transfer with low energy consumption.
• Product is continually mixed to promote uniformity
• Fragile products can be handled with negligible particle degradation.
• No moving parts in contact with the product. Maintenance and abrasive wear are minimised and equipment is easily cleaned.
• Product retention times and gas temperatures are easily adjusted to vary the finished product condition.
• Fluid beds can be multifunctional. Drying, cooling, classifying and calcining can be done in one unit.
• Lower fluidising velocities are required, making the system more energy efficient.
• Easy to clean and maintain.
• Recirculated gas and closed-loop systems available for improved efficiency or solvent recovery.
• Clean-in-place and fire suppression systems available where necessary.
• Carrier’s patented Delta-Phase® Drive option permits on-line adjustment of angle of vibration and precise retention time control.
• Sanitary construction available.

Applications & Industries

Vibrating Fluid Beds are mainly used in the following industries:

• Sand
• Coal
• Plastics
• Food
• Polymers
• Chemicals
• Minerals

The applications that this product is used in include:

• Drying
• Cooling
• Calcining and
• Sterilising

Installation

Fluid Bed Dryer / Cooler installations are infinitely variable and are tailored to meet your requirements.

In addition to a standard dryer / cooler the air can be recirculated to provide an additional energy saving of 10-15% a reduction of the amount of air exhausted to atmosphere by up to 50%.

Furthermore, the addition of a multi-point predictive control system can place controllability and customisation at your finger tips.
