Convective fluid bed DDC - simple and effective
The most basic type of fluid bed comes with a static housing and without internal heat exchangers. Heating or cooling is performed by convection from the fluidization gas, and product transport through the unit is provided by the hydraulic like characteristic of the fluidized layer.
Although our typical design comes with a rectangular footprint, we can also supply a round design for special applications, for example high supply gas temperatures or increased operating pressures.
Your benefits:
• Operating safety
• Compact layout – no separate cooler required
• Minimum maintenance requirements
• Easy to clean
