Request literature on this product via mail

Techne Industrial Fluidized baths are the primary choice of 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 temperature & time - typically 30 minutes at 1000ºF (typical temperature - contact the material manufacturer for the proper burnoff temperature - never exceed the auto ignition temperature)
	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 (all heat is lost when opening the door) or using a torch to burn off residue. 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.
	Costs of the system are typically recovered in less than a year.
	These Fluidized baths are also excellent choices for general heat treatment, reactive chemistry analysis or any other process requiring a stable temperature and open work area.

IFB Series Industrial Fluidized Baths

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. In addition, our IFB-51 and IFB-52 now include a flow meter, allowing the user to easily adjust air to provide the best bath performance. 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.
