Carrier vibrating fluid bed sand coolers are designed to cool hot return sand to temperature and moisture levels ideal for mulling.
Patented fluidizing drilled decks evenly distribute air into the sand bed, preventing hole pluggage and maximizing thermal efficiency. The special hood design minimizes dusting for uniform exhaust velocities. The result is consistent return sand temperature and moisture content.
Three-Stage Sand Cooling System
Carrier sand coolers are ideal for foundry and processing applications and utilize a three-stage system to cool sand evenly. While our sand cooler systems can be designed to meet your needs and application, the processes involve three basic steps:
1. Water Addition 2. Mixing 3. Cooling in Fluid Bed
Features and benefits of carrier sand coolers:
- Evaporative sand cooling process provides maximum thermal efficiency.
- Fluidization with vibration mixes and turns the sand bed, eliminating hot spots.
- Because the sand moisture is evaporated while cooling, the cool sand is consistent in temperature and moisture.
- Air volume controls regulate and maintain supply and exhaust air volumes at a constant pre-set level to prevent fines entrainment and sand weepage.
- Continuous plenum discharge incorporates a double seal to discharge weepage sand if loss of supply air should occur.
- Special sand dryer hood design minimizes dusting and produces more uniform exhaust velocities.
- Consistent return sand temperature and moisture content.
- Minimal sand dryer system maintenance – no moving parts are in contact with the sand.
