Combination Fluid Bed Baghouses

Fluidized Beds with Built-In Baghouses Designed for Small Footprints

Applied Chemical Technology’s (ACT) Combination Fluid Bed/Baghouses integrate process operations and environmental control into a single unit, reducing space requirements and allowing greater flexibility in plant layout. The continuous operation design offers non-stop production capabilities for a wide range of process applications, while the integrated baghouse easily captures undersized particles for elimination or recirculation. We offer a versatile range of fluid bed sizes to meet any need, from research and development operations to full-scale production plants.
