IFB Burn Off baths

Techne Industrial Fluidized baths are the primary choice by Plastics Manufacturers for the efficient and safe cleaning of parts and tooling used in the plastics manufacturing process including extruder dies, injector nozzles, screws, screens, manifolds, breaker plates or any other part that can be removed for cleaning. Here are some of the benefits of our Fluidized bath cleaning systems:

Key benefits and features:

	Cleans tooling by direct heat - typically 30 minutes at 1000ºF
	Prevents damage to tooling as opposed to using scrappers and wire brushes.
	Fluidized bath action is non-abrasive to any tools or parts put into the bath including those highly polished.
	Much more efficient than ovens (1/2 the cleaning time) or by using a torch to burn off residue. Many ovens provide uneven heat across the part surface causing metallurgy stress and damage. No nasty chemicals like those required for Ultrasonic cleaning baths.
	Far safer than a blow torch - operator is not exposed to fumes or smoke from burning off plastic residue. Fumes and odors are exhausted away from the operator area. Eliminating manual cleaning saves man hours.
	Fast return on investment, normally 6 to 12 months
	These Fluidized baths are also excellent choices for general heat treatment, heating a reactor or coil, reactive chemistry analysis or any other process requiring a stable temperature and open work area.
	Use in conjunction with Air Filtration units for environmentally friendly cleaning. Smoke, fumes & VOC's are removed from exhaust by filtration.

IFB Series Industrial Fluidized Baths

NEW FEATURE >> The IFB-51 and IFB-52 baths now incorporate an acrylic flow meter and fine adjustment valve for precisely setting, measuring and controlling the Fluidization air. This new feature greatly improves the stability to +/-1.0°C and accuracy to +/-10.0 throughout the operating range. A label above the flow meter shows the factory suggested settings to use. See a close up image of the new Flow meter.

The main differences between the IFB51 and IFB52 are the total heater power and size of the working area, both of which are given below. The IFB Series Fluidized baths are controlled via a three term (PID) digital controller offering a resolution of 1 degree. Temperature feedback to the controller is from a type K' thermocouple. A solid state relay is used to pass power to the heaters during heat up and when maintaining the set temperature. Both units employ an independent over-temperature contactor to disable power to the heaters in the event of a controller or thermocouple failure.
