  • Page 11: General Description

    The combination of excellent heat transfer characteristics and high heat capacity are ideal for attaining rapid stabilisation at an isothermal condition. Techne industrial fluidised baths use aluminium oxide as the fluidising medium. They have been designed to remove plastic residue from extruder and moulding machine tools, paint build up from paint fixtures, and carry out various heat treatment processes.
  • Page 12 I F B - 1 0 1 O P E R A T O R ’ S M A N U A L During operation the correct fluidising air flow must be determined by visually inspecting the surface of the fluidised bath. When the fluidised bath is heated the air within the bath expands;...

    I F B - 1 0 1 O P E R A T O R ’ S M A N U A L Fume Ignition Spontaneous ignition may occur above the surface of the fluidised bath or within the exhaust ductwork if the concentration exceeds the lower explosive limit. The fume concentration is dependent upon the rate of fume production in the fluidised bath and the level of dilution achieved by entraining air from above the bath or through the dilution tee.

    The exact combination of fume treatment components required depends upon the application and local conditions. Technical staff are available to discuss particular applications and offer advice as to which combination is required.

    I F B - 1 0 1 O P E R A T O R ’ S M A N U A L MAINTENANCE 1) The aluminium oxide fluidising medium, not being degradable,will only require replacement when losses occur due to attrition and spillage, or contamination with inert pigments, fillers or acidic by products from the cleaning process.

These cleaning processes have the additional benefit of ensuring good fluidisation and this, in turn reduces burn off time, reduces uneven heating of parts and thus distortion, increases heater life by eliminating localised hot-spots, and makes cleaning easier on a regular basis.
