BULK SOLID HEAT EXCHANGER

Discover how solid heat exchangers offer an effective, efficient and clean alternative to fluidized bed systems, transferring heat to bulk solids such as fertilizers, polymers, seeds, coffee, cocoa, resins, biomass, sand or sugar.

It is a resistant technology, shaped like a tower, through which the granular products are decanted by gravity. As the solids pass through the heat exchanger, they are cooled or heated, depending on the needs of each process. On reaching the bottom of the tower, a screw, rotary or vibratory feeder extracts the treated products.

Its revolutionary design allows thermal exchange with a simple and direct system, minimizing acquisition and maintenance costs with technical details such as the openings that facilitate inspection or the extraction system for sanitization.

The pillow plate heat exchanger provides multiple advantages over the traditional fluidized bed system; the reuse of existing residual energy in the industry itself (thermal oil, steam or superheated water), reduction of environmental pollution and dust, homogenization of the temperature applied to granular products and energy efficiency.
