Over the years, cooling bulk solids such as sugar, fertilizer, chemicals, plastics, dried biosolids, minerals, and many other types of grains, crystals and bulk powders using the traditional technologies does not guarantee quality final products. As a result, the business productivity was greatly affected and most of all this technology has a big selection of disadvantages to handle.
In response to this challenge, leading industrial organizations along with their best scientists and engineers designed a laudable breakthrough technology that efficiently cools bulk solids and bulk powders of every kind, the bulk solids cooling technology. This world leading technology has been widely use in a substantial number of of bulk powder applications worldwide. It has also gained the reputation for effectively facilitating the process of cooling bulk powders.
How It Works
First, this technology facilitate a slow and controlled product flow by permitting the bulk powders and bulk solids materials to pass slowly downward between a chain of vertical hollow heat exchange plates. And after that, the materials undergo indirect plate cooling and then it passes through a mass flow technology wherein the mass flow discharge feeder creates uniform product velocity through the cooler and regulates the product flow rate. And lastly, it passes a vertical configuration where bulk solids pass through the vertical cooler by gravity.
Why It's Better
This bulk solids cooler technology is considered to be super-efficient compared to other competing technology since it uses up to ninety% less energy. The indirect plate cooling was specifically designed with out the use of air in the cooling process and therefore eliminates the need of a vast horsepower electric drives and the associated heat losses making this technology as the most efficient bulk solids cooler technology available.
Furthermore, this technology adds a uniform final product temperatures since the product moves with uniform velocity through the heat exchanger which refer to as a mass flow design. This feature, combined with long residence times (typically 5-10 minutes), permits even temperature distribution as the product passes through the heat exchanger, producing remarkably stable and uniform final product temperatures.
Since this technology has a vertical configuration, the design is both compact and modular which means that extra heat exchanger plate banks can be stacked if increased cooling means is required in the future. The compact installation footprint makes this design easy to integrate in existing plants and is ideal for de-bottlenecking, revamps and means increases.
The mere fact that this technology was designed with an indirect plate cooling, air is not used in all of the cooling process. The installation costs were also reduced since there is no need to install unnecessary air handling add-ons such as large diameter air ducting, motors, fans, scrubbers, chillers, and emissions controls. Fines, dusts, and odors were also eliminated because air was not used to the direct cooling of the product courtesy of the indirect plate cooling design.
Lastly, this technology produces an efficient final product since the movements of the products all through all of the process was slow and completely controlled. And because of this, it helps prevents product abrasion and degradation, thus, there is no modification in the particle characteristics. The risks of bacterial contamination, odor contamination, and product moisture content changes were also eliminated since air has no contact with the products all through the whole process.
Compared to other competing technologies, this bulk solids and bulk powders cooling technology is way far superior in terms of efficiency, design, and effectiveness. Thus, employing this ultra-efficient cooling technology could not only support saves energy but at an analogous time emissions are eliminated and most of all this will support in improving your business productivity.
