Chemical industry
Chemical materials vary widely — from free-flowing powders to high-viscosity pastes, from heat-sensitive intermediates to solvent-laden products. Equipment has to balance corrosion resistance, explosion protection, solvent recovery and operating cost.
- Solvent-bearing materials: vacuum operation with condensation and recovery
- Heat-sensitive materials: low-temperature vacuum drying without decomposition or discolouration
- Pastes and high-viscosity materials: rake dryers continuously renew the heated surface
- Powder blending: square cone mixers deliver consistent homogeneity
Pharmaceutical industry
Solid dosage production demands cleanliness, cleanability and batch consistency. Internal geometry must be easy to clean, contact parts are usually stainless steel, and material transfers should be kept to a minimum.
- Granulation: the fluid bed granulator completes mixing, granulating and drying in one step
- Blending: bin blenders use the bin as the vessel, reducing transfers
- Drying: double cone rotary vacuum dryers operate sealed at low temperature
- Feeding: elevators interlocked with host machines reduce manual handling
Food industry
Food ingredients need colour, flavour and nutrients preserved, while also meeting continuous production and hygienic design requirements. Contact parts are typically food-grade stainless steel, with geometry that avoids product traps.
- Batch drying: hot air circulation ovens with an even temperature and simple operation
- Liquid products: centrifugal spray dryers preserve flavour through instant drying
- Production scale: continuous belt dryers with independent zone control
- Granular products: vibrating fluid bed dryers fluidise evenly without agglomeration
Environmental industry
Sludge and solid waste are high in moisture, variable in composition and often sticky. The core of the drying process is to reduce moisture to the level required for disposal or reuse, while keeping exhaust volume and energy use under control.
- Sludge reduction: paddle dryers use conduction heating with high efficiency and low exhaust
- High-viscosity material: rake dryers keep the product moving and prevent wall build-up
- Continuous processing: continuous or batch operation configured to project scale
- Line integration: conveying, dust collection and exhaust treatment can be added
