Fluid Bed Systems -> The 300N Fluid Bed

The 300N Fluid Bed

The 300N, a larger version of our 100N lab fluid bed, dries, agglomerates, and coats a wide range of particulate materials. The 300N batch sizes range from 5 L to 20 L. The drying / granulating / coating process is easily viewed through the upper acrylic section. The upper acrylic section lifts up to allow the operator to remove the product bowl.

Features

Product Bowl:
The product bowl is constructed of stainless steel with a fluidization plate, 9" ID, bolted at the base. Depending on the product, the fluidization plate can be perforated, sintered, or grid to provide sufficient fluidization.

Exhaust Blower:
The fluidization velocity, or airflow, is controlled with a variable speed exhauster.

Heater:
An 18 kW electric duct heater adjusts the temperature of the inlet air stream.

Dust Collection:
The internal baghouse, four cartridge filters in the upper section, removes the dust from the exhaust air system. The filters are cleaned with an air pulse system (manual or automatic).

   Instrumentation and Controls:
     - Inlet air temperature (°F)
     - Outlet air temperature
F)
     - Air velocity (ft/min)
     - Pressure gauge
     - Manual filter pulse button
     - Automatic filter pulse timer
     - Blower On/Off
     - Inverter for airflow control
     - Heater On/Off
     - Air temperature controller
     - Main power On/Off
     - Emergency stop button
