Heat exchanger in fertiliser application

The BULK-X-CHANGE heat exchanger developed by Coperion Waeschle of Weingarten, Germany, is for the very first time being employed by a fertiliser manufacturer for use with an inorganic product. The device serves to cool the fertiliser following the crystallising and drying stages. Its purpose is to prevent the formation of lumps during silo storage and thereby improve product storability and handling. www.coperion.com
