    IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY INFORMATION Introduction Cole-Parmer Industrial fluidised Baths (IFB) 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. Antylia Scientific Ltd 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 Cole-Parmer Industrial Fluidised Baths (IFB) FSB-200-5I and FSB-200-12I 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

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION AND SAFETY FEATURES The equipment, as described in this Instruction Manual, has been designed for use by properly trained personnel. It is important that all relevant information relating to the equipment be distributed to employees who may handle or encounter it.

    DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS AND FRONT PANEL CONTROLS Figure 1: Components and controls – FSB-200-5I shown Item Description Function Fluidised bath chamber Heated chamber containing the fluidised aluminium oxide. Operating instructions Quick operating guide. Eurotherm 3216 Used to set the required bath set point temperature. The temperature controller control parameters have been factory pre-set.

    INSTALLATION Figure 2: Schematic of fluidised bath set up with cyclone and basic exhaust extraction system. SET-UP The extraction collar, cyclone and extraction fan should be interconnected using appropriate 100mm (4”) ducting. The purpose of the cyclone is to recover any aluminium oxide pulled out of the bath which can be sieved and reused.

  • Page 20: Operation

    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.

  • Page 21: Shut-Down

    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 Antylia Scientific Ltd. 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 shutdown. 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.

    2. Screen the medium through a 50 to 70 mesh sieve before returning it to the cleaned bath. This removes scale, agglomerated medium, char, undegraded polymer and lost parts and helps maintain a good quality of fluidisation. HALF-YEARLY INTERVALS 1. The bath should be emptied, cleaned, inspected and the medium replaced by a fresh charge. 2.
