Coolers are used for cooling pellets. The principle of counter flow cooling is applied.
Pros
•Total emptying: A pneumatic cylinder opens and closes the grid completely at the end of the run to make sure no pellets are left behind
•Cooler firesafety: A fire valve in the hood cuts off the supply of fresh air in case temperature in the cooler reaches a pre-set limit (optional)
•Operator safety: Sensors and control systems ensure that no access to the inside of the equipment is possible without first shutting down all moving parts (standard)
•Bevelled corners in the hopper prevent product or product fines accumulations
•Power failureprotection: A second pneumatic cylinder is employed to close the grid immediately when there is a power failure in the plant (optional)
•Twodischargepositionsselection: A pneumatic cylinder is used to select between 2 different discharge position for products of different diameters (optional)
•Cooler insulation: Insulation of the hood and bin walls leads to a significant reduction in the risk of internal condensation (optional)
•Air flowcontrol: With the Automatic Air Flow Control Valves air volume can be accurately controlled. There is automatic stabilisation of air volume, regardless of the bed depth and the required air volume can be recipe dependent. No more blow holes during start up or emptying, no more excessive amounts of fines flying into the cyclone (optional)
