Cooling Bulk Solids Using Water - Products up to 400 °C
World leading technology for cooling bulk solids such as sugar, fertilizer, chemicals, plastics, dried biosolids, minerals, and many other types of grains, crystals and powders.
-
Slow & Controlled Product Flow
Bulk solids pass slowly downward between a series of vertical hollow heat exchange plates.
-
Indirect Plate Cooling
Cooling water flows through the plates cooling the bulk solids by conduction.
-
Mass Flow Technology
The mass flow discharge feeder creates uniform product velocity through the cooler and regulates the product flow rate.
-
Vertical Configuration
Bulk solids pass through the vertical cooler by gravity.

Guaranteed Thermal Performance
Solex uses its proprietary thermal modeling software, ThermaPro, to accurately predict product temperature profiles of the bulk solid material at each point through the cooling process. The result is guaranteed thermal performance. Learn more here.
Green Technology for Cooling Bulk Solids
Something for nothing is now technologically possible. The Solex water cooled heat exchanger can capture valuable heat while cooling bulk solid materials, making this recovered energy available as pressurized hot water for use elsewhere in your facility.
