‘Ventilex is an excellent company to work with and they deliver what they promise,’ says Rudolf de Jager from Holland Mineraal in Deventer. This leading company in blasting equipment and abrasives ordered a fluid bed dryer from Ventilex to replace their rotary dryer for the drying of minerals. ‘In practice, we have achieved the promised energy saving in gas.’ ‘I can only say we are delighted with the entire process, from awarding the order right up until today. Ventilex visited the company, carried out product testing and offered a dryer based on those results. The dryer has been in operation now for three years and has been completely problem-free. And the energy savings are still increasing due to increases in gas prices. I am very pleased we invested in a fluid bed dryer and I can recommend it to everyone’, says a contented De Jager. Cooling by means of evaporation Immanuël Jurg from Ventilex: ‘Before receiving the order we took Holland Mineraal to visit one of our clients in Apeldoorn. After that we performed product testing to see how successful the dust removal was. Throughout the whole process we paid particular attention to energy savings. We offered a technical solution for this whereby cooling is achieved by means of evaporation. The point is, the minerals need to be cold when they leave the dryer in order to be further processed. We make use of the remaining heat inside the product to evaporate the last part of the moisture in the minerals. This results in faster cooling and you can achieve up to 30% savings in energy. ‘The advantage of a fluid bed dryer, aside from being energy-saving, is its durability’, says Jurg. ‘A fluid bed is less prone to wear and tear of internal parts, something that Holland Mineraal has noticed considering the dryer’s long term problem-free use. What makes this assignment special is that it has been carried out in close cooperation with the customer.Since Holland Mineraal is involved in mechanical fabrication itself, its own team of mechanics has been working alongside our technicians. That’s also possible with Ventilex.
