Over the years, various industrial companies engaged in the bulk industry innovates new technologies in performing major industrial processes such as heating and cooling bulk solid materials such as fertilizer, plastics, minerals, chemicals and a wide variety of other granules, crystals and bulk powders. However, some of these bulk processing technologies does not provide the ability to reduce energy use in all its processes. In fact, there are heating technologies that consumes a huge amount of energy in processing powders and other solid materials.

The energy inefficiency of these existing technologies depends entirely on its technical aspects and particularly on the medium used in processing those bulk materials. Also, the procedures used in processing bulk solids materials greatly affects the energy efficiency of a certain technology.

Today, the bulk industry introduces the bulk powders heating technology, a new innovation in processing bulk powder materials that does not only provide superior bulk powder quality but at the same time uses up to 90% less energy compared to other competing technologies. The key to this energy savings is the technology’s ability to heat bulk materials without using the air, which means users saves energy and at the same time eliminates emissions.

This advanced heating technology was specifically engineered for heating bulk powder materials and contains certain technical features such as the indirect plate heating design which do not require the use of air in the heating process and thereby eliminates the need for large horsepower electric drives and the associated heat losses. And since this technology do not use air in the heating process, air emissions, fines, odors and dust production were totally eliminated , and solves a host of other issues commonly experienced in the process of cooling, heating and drying bulk solids using air.

The energy-efficient feature of this technology combined with the large heat transfer to surface area of the heating plates, makes this technology the most efficient bulk powder heating technology available today.

Furthermore, processing bulk solids and many other types of powder materials including chemicals, fertilizers, sugars, minerals, grains and polymers has a special requirements thus it need a more specialized technology in processing them. As a solution, this super efficient bulk powder heating technology can heat bulk products with more than 90% efficiency when compared to other bulk processing technologies we had today. This approach can be an extraordinary savings that can really boost cost and energy efficiency which leads to a greater business productivity.

Thus, this bulk solids heating facility could not only provide accurate results and improve product quality but most importantly it significantly reduce the use of energy. An ultra-efficient heating technology should have these following qualities, environmentally-friendly advantage of lower emissions, thermal efficiency and uses less energy.
