FLUID BED COOLER / CLASSIFIER (CAPACITY 1 - 3 TPH)
The Fluid Bed Cooler / Classifier is engineered to cool and classify dry (less than 3% moisture) foundry sand on year round basis when coupled with optional extra, water cooling tower. Proper cooling and classifying is accomplished by utilizing a controlled flow of air into and out of the classifier. The air flow into the unit achieves fluidization which produces a gentle polishing action which The unit consists of a fluidizing deck with self-cleaning capped orifice-type jets that require little maintenance, mounted above a chamber into which air is fed. The air velocity, regulated by adjustable damper valves, is supplied by a Centrifugal fan. Since there are no moving parts in contact with the sand, maintenance is at an absolute minimum. The unit is supplied with inspection windows, detachable panels for ease of cleaning, flanged discharge connection mounted on the side and adjustable exhaust damper valves for connection to a dust extraction system (optional extra), which must provide a slightly negative pressure over the fluidized sand bed. The classified sand that exits the fluid bed classifier is ready for use by customer’s continuous mixers. TECHNICAL DATA(Specifications are subject to final design criteria)
FLUID BED COOLER / CLASSIFIER(CAPACITY – 6 TPH)
The Fluid Bed Cooler /Classifier is engineered to cool and classify dry (less than 3% moisture) foundry sand on year round basis when coupled with optional Water Cooling Tower. Proper cooling classifying is accomplished by utilising a controlled flow of air into and out of the classifier. The air flow into the unit achieves fluidization which produces a gentle polishing action which effectively removes dust adhering to the sand grains. The air flow out of the unit is controlled so that a slight negative pressure is maintained above the Fluidized sand, thereby drawing off the dislodged dust particles. Thorough cooling is maintained by exposing the sand to water cooling pipes running the length of the sand bed.
