Test Lab for
Screeners, Fluid Bed Dryers/Coolers
A
fully re-equipped test laboratory at Kason Corporation contains
a full range of screening and fluid bed processing equipment that
is readily reconfigured to simulate customer installations for trials
using supplied materials.
Vibroscreen® circular vibratory screeners include units with single
and multiple decks for measuring sifting, scalping, classifying, dedusting
and dewatering performance in both gravity-fed and vacuum/pressurized
applications. Similarly, Centri-Sifter® centrifugal
screeners verify sifting, scalping, de-agglomerating and dewatering
efficiencies in both gravity- and pneumatically-fed models using
customer-supplied
materials.
All models of laboratory screeners are quick-clean
designs allowing easy access to interior components for rapid
inspection, disassembly,
screen changes and cleaning.
Most notable is the lab's new, full-scale, fluid bed processing equipment
for drying, cooling and moisturizing of bulk solid materials.
The exclusive, circular vibratory design enables entire systems
consisting of fluid
bed processor, heater/cooler/moisturizer, blower and dust collector,
to be self-contained on mobile frames with casters, offering
testing flexibility not practical with larger, heavier, rectangular
units of
equivalent capacity.
A full complement of hoppers, mechanical
and pneumatic conveyors, and flow promotion devices enables
Kason lab technicians
to replicate virtually any process layout and production
scenario, including running of customer-supplied materials at elevated
temperatures.
In addition to providing free testing services
for the company's customers
prior to equipment fabrication, the test lab is utilized
to
test-run completed equipment and to measure
performance characteristics of new equipment designs.
Kason also provides screeners for on-site trials at no charge
to customers unable to ship materials for testing, and offers
the equipment for pilot plant testing and other long-term trials
on a rental basis.
Fluid
bed processors are also available for weekly rental for
on-site testing.
Kason's line of screeners handles bulk chemicals,
minerals,
plastics, foods,
dairy products, pharmaceuticals and other materials
ranging from dry bulk solids to solids-laden slurries containing
particles from 5
cm
to 25 microns (500 mesh) in size, at capacities in
excess of 50 tons/h. Its fluid bed processors dry, cool, or moisturize
bulk materials on
a batch or continuous basis, on a laboratory or production scale.
