The GUNT Flow Through Particle Layers trainer allows in-depth study of the fluid mechanics involved in fixed and fluidised beds, which are commonly encountered in filtration and chemical reactor processes. With a transparent test tank and configurable flow direction, this unit offers visual and quantitative analysis of how liquids move through packed and fluidised granular materials under various flow conditions.
Product Features
- Transparent glass test tank for clear visual observation of bed behavior
- Supports experiments with both fixed and fluidised beds using bulk solids
- Reversible flow setup via quick-release couplings
- Sintered-metal plate base ensures uniform distribution of flow through bulk material
- Water can flow from top to bottom (fixed bed) or bottom to top (fluidised bed)
- Expansion tank collects overflow during fluidisation experiments
- Manometers with different measuring ranges for accurate pressure loss analysis
- Adjustable flow rate with integrated control valve and flow meter
- Demonstrates key principles in process engineering, filtration, and reactor design
Benefits
- Hands-on learning of pressure drop and flow behavior in packed and fluidised beds
- Clear visualisation of bed compaction and expansion at varying flow velocities
- Enables safe and controlled experimentation for educational environments
- Supports understanding of practical industrial applications such as filtration and fluidised reactors
Why Choose the GUNT Particle Flow Trainer for Fixed and Fluidised Bed Studies?
The GUNT is the ideal tool for studying the dynamic behaviors of flow through particulate media. Its flexible design, visual transparency, and precision instrumentation make it an excellent teaching aid in fluid mechanics and process engineering courses. Whether demonstrating fixed bed permeability or fluidisation thresholds, this trainer offers reliable, real-time insight into complex filtration and reactor operations.
