Page 3: Important Supplementary Safety Information
Techne fluidised baths are safe and effective equipment when installed and operated correctly in accordance with the user manual. However, if used incorrectly they can pose a safety risk. Techne have designed all models of fluidised baths to protect operators from hazards but users should pay attention to the following points. -
Page 4: General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Techne Industrial Fluidised Baths IFB-51 and IFB-52 have been specially designed for removing plastic residue from extruder tools, moulding machine tools and associated parts. The fluidised bath employs the principle of fluidisation of a mass of finely divided inert particles by means of an upward flow of gas. -

Page 16: Warning
WARNING Poor fluidisation causes hot spots, heater failure and damage to other parts. Follow this Instruction Manual carefully. For correct fluidisation, pay attention to the following: INSTALLATION • Ensure the bath is level and air supply is adequate. OPERATION • Adjust air valve for even fluidisation. -
Page 17: Principle Of Operation And Safety Features
The controller has a resolution of 1° and can be switched between °C and °F. The IFB-51 and IFB-52 are supplied with an internal contactor that disables power to the heaters if one of the following conditions occur: thermocouple failure, loss of power to or controller fault and/or exceeding the factory set high temperature limit of 620°C (1148°F). -

Air flow valve Controls the amount of air for fluidising the bed. Fuses The unit is fitted with 2 x 25A (IFB-51) or 2 x 30A (IFB-52) fuses Rating plate Details the model number, serial number and power rating. Mains power cord Connect to mains power supply. -
Page 19: Installation
POWER The IFB-51 and IFB-52 require a power supply of 230V, 50/60Hz, single phase. A 208V supply is insufficient and should be boosted to 230V with a suitable boost transformer. The compressed air supply to the bath must be clean, dry and free from oil. The pressure delivered to be bath should be 30 psi (207 kPa) and capable of delivering 5 cubic feet/minute (CFM) (142 litres/min). -

5. Place the extraction collar (if used) into the bath. 6. Install and connect any associated fume treatment equipment with appropriate ducting and connect to the fluidised bath extraction collar. See figure 2 above and section FUME CLEANING. OPERATION START-UP 1. -

7. Make sure the exhaust system is plumbed according to our recommendation (see Figure 2 and section FUME CLEANING). 8. With the exhaust fan on, close the damper so there is no extraction to the bath. 9. Place parts to be cleaned in the basket and lower into the bath. Place the lid on the bath. 10. -
Page 22: The Cleaning Process
THE CLEANING PROCESS The cleaning process relies on heat being transferred from the fluidised bed to the immersed tools, the heat then degrades the plastic residue. Objects to be cleaned should be supported in a basket or suitable holder for ease of handling and lowered into the fluidised bed. To avoid physical damage and local overheating, it is important to ensure that any items placed in the bed are supported and not allowed to rest either on the porous plate at the bottom of the bed or against the wall of the inner container. -
Page 23: Fume Ignition
Excessive operating temperatures should be avoided as they increase the fume concentration above the bath and may result in the formation of condensed fumes within the extraction system.

rate of 2m /min is required to ensure that the fume concentration is below 25% of the lower explosive limit when thermally decomposing 1kg/hr of polythene at 450°C. To safeguard the fluidised bath from damage, two safety features are included in the control console: an adjustable over temperature cut-out which guards against controller failure, and an air pressure switch which inhibits operation if the compressed air supply to the fluidised bath fails. -

Figure 4: Full extraction system required for burn-off of toxic fumes and PVC. *Items not supplied by Techne. OPERATOR MAINTENANCE The aluminium oxide fluidising medium, not being degradable, will only require replacement when losses occur due to attrition, spillage or contamination with inert pigments, filler or acidic by-products from the burn-off process. -
Page 26: Special Maintenance Procedures When Burning Off Pvc Or Other Halogenated Polymers
All articles should be completely cleaned and removed from the bed before shut down. Corrosion of processed parts could be seriously increased if they are left immersed overnight. Furthermore, residual plastic, instead of being burned off in a fluidised state, could percolate down through a static bed and settle on the porous plate causing blockage and poor fluidization. -
Page 27: Fault Finding
If the fault persists, empty the medium from the bed, check the stainless steel porous plate for damage due to clogging by plastic residue, distortion of the plate or corrosion. Factory PID Parameters (For IFB51 S/N: 451 and higher, IFB52 S/N: 214 and higher) Parameter IFB-51 IFB-52 1PLS CBHI... -
