Heating Bulk Solids Using Steam, Hot Water or Thermal Oil
World leading technology for heating bulk solid materials such as fertilizer, plastics, minerals, chemicals and a wide variety of other granules, crystals and powders.
-
Slow & Controlled Product Flow
Bulk solids pass slowly downward between a series of vertical hollow heat exchanger plates.
-
Indirect Plate Heating
Heat transfer media, such as steam, hot water, or thermal oil, flow through the plates to heat the bulk solids material by conduction.
-
Mass Flow Technology
The mass flow discharge feeder creates uniform product velocity through the heater and regulates the product flow rate.
-
Vertical Configuration
Hot bulk solids pass through the vertical heater by gravity.
