(General Physics) (tr) to make fluid, esp to make (solids) fluid by pulverizing them so that they can be transported in a stream of gas as if they were liquids: fluidized coal.
In this open-mold process for producing multi-layer PUR parts, the highly viscous PUR reaction blend is typically pressurized with compressed air in order to fluidize it.
It is suitable for new powder coating technologies, such as those with lower cure temperatures, high flow systems with lower [T.sub.g], and metallic finishes which are difficult to fluidize. More information can be found at: www.cabot-corp.com.
The Dyna-Slide high precision air activated feeder is said to efficiently combine low pressure compressed air and gravity to fluidize and convey most fine dry granular materials.
Two eccentric weight motors and spring suspension vibrate the unit, which, together with the continuous air flow, separate and fluidize individual pellets, maximizing the surface area of material to speed the drying and cooling.
