Fluidbed

Fluidbed
RELCO wet & dry has developed a fluidbed meeting the latest demands in the application field.
Its design emphasizes on functionality and highly sanitary construction.

Internal Fluidbed
This fluidbed makes up an integrated part of the chamber cone, where the semi-dry powder particles are collected.
Here, secondary drying takes place in a fluidised layer of powder on fresh drying air. The perforated plate in this bed consists of sections with direction determined holes, with which a slight rotation of the powder layer is achieved. This does result in a more effective mixture and transportation of the powder.

The internal fluidbed consists of:
• Clean air chamber for the distribution of dry air under the screen plate

• Screen plate from 1m² up to 7m² in finely perforated stainless steel
• Inspection glasses with lighting in the fluidbed
• Inspection openings
• CIP nozzles in the upper and lower part
• Platform around the chamber fluidbed, made completely of stainless steel, with checker plate cover, including foot rim, railing and stairs.

External fluidbed with mix-section
The fluidbed with its special mix-section is installed at the outlet of the drying chamber for final conditioning of the powder. The fluidbed-perforated plate consists of sections with direction-determined holes, yielding a controlled movement in the powder layer. This to achieve an effective rotation in the mix-zone and plug-flow in the conditioning/cooling zone.

The external fluidbed consists of:
• Clean air chamber for the distribution of dry air under the screen plate
• Screen plate from 2m² up to 28m² in finely perforated stainless steel

• Inspection glasses with lighting in the fluidbed
• Inspection openings
• CIP nozzles in the upper and lower part
• Flexible connections
• Vibration motor underneath the fluidbed that gives a horizontal vibration to the fluidbed
• Spiral spring support on base frame with legs

With its new bottom plate, vibration of the bed has now been reduced and consequently, the heavy foundation for the vibrating bed is no longer needed.

Platform to enter Fluidbed
The platform is completely made of stainless steel with chequer plate cover, inlcuding foot bordering and railing, discharges with drain, as well as stairs.
