Fluidising Tiles

Mantec’s porous ceramic tiles are arranged either in a grid to create a fluidised bed, or in series as a fluidised conveyor for transporting powder from one location to another. Another application is to mount the tiles on the side of powder silos to aid flow and prevent solidification.

Air or gas fed into a compartment or plenum chamber beneath the tiles can only escape by way of the ceramic tiles into the powder above. When velocities are high enough this induces fluidisation. In most cases no more than local fluidisation is necessary to bring about movement in the powder.
