Patenting fluidized bed - Ecoquench

fluidized bed - EcoquenchEither because our customers are sensitive to the environmental conditions, or because it was requested for some process reasons, the quenching fluidised bed developed by FIB in 1986 on request of the wire drawers has imposed itself in the field of tire cord in Japan but also on the market. The fourth generation of equipments called "Eco-quench" (Ecological Quench) is a synthesis of the long experience of exploitation of fluidized beds by our customers.

With its two fluidized zones, the first one dedicated to quenching and the second one being aimed at the control of recalescence and its maintain tunnel, the Ecoquench is the synthesis of a technology allowing a lot of flexibility in the adjustment of the zone temperatures, while minimizing the quantities and sand immobilized in the bed.

Split up in small fluidized beds, the system has the advantage of allowing a reduced energy consumption (the last zone being a maintain tunnel) and perfectly controlling the movements of the sand linked with the running of the wires. And at last, thanks to the modular aspect of the machine, an existing equipment could be adapted at very low costs if the production needs required an increase of the wires speed.

Advantages :

- Suitable for Galfan ® technology
- More than 970.000 hours of running time (111 years of experience)
- Experience from 0,8 mm up to 13 mm
- Flexibility into the temperature adjustments
- Minimizing of the sand quantity
- Minimizing of wearing parts
- Minimizing of the energy consumption
- Lot of flexibility to heat up or to shut down
- Improvement of the threading operation
- No wire support in the fluidised beds
