Applications

For blending fluidizable bulk solids with particle sizes below 500 µm, especially powders. Appropriate in batch-wise operations.

Description of apparatus

Fluidization of particles is achieved by fluidization gas (normally air) flowing through the bulk solids. The random motion of the particles leads to homogenization of bulk solids in fluidized beds. Horizontal homogenization can be intensified by varying aeration flow rates at the different air inlets, which leads to optimized blending results and reduced blending times.
