The Ideal Solution for Heating Bulk Powders

Through the years, industrial leaders conducted intensive research in the field of bulk solids and bulk powder processing in order to meet the challenging demands for efficient bulk products processing and eventually to replace the inefficient traditional method which yields low quality results.

From the traditional method of hot air in heating bulk solids material, today a more advanced, sophisticated and efficient heating technology designed by the worlds leading industrial companies has been employed in an international array of facilities in heating bulk solids such as sugar, fertilizer, chemicals, plastics, dried biosolids, minerals, and many other types of grains, crystals and bulk powders in response to todays challenges in processing bulk products.

During the designing stage of this new technology, industrial leaders and scientists in the bulk industry realized that the traditional method has a difficult time controlling the two key outcomes of final product temperature and moisture content if they will only use the single medium of hot air. With the use of indirect heating in the purpose of controlling the product temperature and a small amounts of cross-flow air to control moisture content, the ideal solution of heating bulk products is to be able to provide the exact outcomes required for downstream processing.

This innovative technology does only provide the ideal solution in processing bulk product materials but at the same time it offers several innate advantages compared to the traditional approach and other competing technologies. Specifically engineered for use with bulk product materials, this advanced heating technology produces a superior bulk powder quality, consumes up to 90% less energy than other heating technologies available today, eliminates the production of air emissions, dust, fines, odors, and solves a number of other issues commonly involved in the process of heating bulk solids and bulk powders.

Furthermore, this bulk powders heat exchanger technology did not alter the particle characteristics of the materials maintaining its standards which results to a superior bulk powder quality. Product damage was avoided since the bulk powders pass through the heat exchanger at a slow and controlled rate. This process also allows the accurate prediction and control of the final temperature of the heated materials.

Currently, this heating technology helps many industrial facilities to reached optimal heating given the variable inputs of product moisture content and humidity in the ambient air. Unlike the traditional method, todays innovative heating technology provides a better responsiveness to varied inputs and accurate controllability over product outcomes resulting to superior bulk powder quality.

Lastly, the most ideal solution of heating bulk solids and powder materials should have the environmentally-friendly advantage of lower emissions and guaranteed thermal performance. And if waste heat is available, it can be captured and used it again for other processes further adding to the energy efficiency.
