precision temperature fluidised sand baths
FB-08, Fluidised Bath
The FB-08 series Fluidised Baths are precision baths with exceptional temperature stability and
uniformity and are a safe and clean alternative to conventional liquid systems and salt baths. The
fumes from oil and salt baths and also the dangers in placing components with moisture on into
the bath are eliminated.
In operation, first set the flow of fluidising air by means of the control valve on the flowmeter.
The setting will vary depending on the operating temperature; at higher temperatures a lower
flow rate is required for good fluidisation. Select the required operating temperature on the
temperature controller. The digital display indicates the set point value and the actual bath
temperature. Sensors for calibration should be suspended as close as possible to the centre of the
working area or for increased uniformity by using a probe holder.

3208L Eurotherm FB-08 Controller
The Eurotherm controller includes PID controls, digital set and readout of the bath temperature.
Power is switched via a solid state relay. Individual indicators show manual mode, setpoint and
output status. The controller is password protected to allow operators access only to the
information required to set the temperature and run the unit.
