Rotating Circular Trays Wipe Material from Tray to Tray While Drying
Capable of operation at temperatures up to 1,202°F (650°C), Turbo-Dryer can be used to calcine or sinter fine metal oxide powders. The continuous tray dryer includes an internal electrical heating system that helps remove residual moisture. The dryer can use any heating medium: steam, gas, electricity, oil, high temperature oil or waste gas from other operations. Dry air or nitrogen is used to purge water vapor from the system, keeping fines carryover to a minimum. The proprietary design of the thermal processor consists of a stack of rotating circular trays in a sealed enclosure. Material is fed onto the top tray, and after each revolution it is wiped onto the next lower tray. Internal Turbo-Fans circulate heated gas in the enclosure to provide the drying medium.

Jet-Tube Fluidized Bed Technology Creates a Bed of Air
Line of drying systems includes Jetzone fluidized bed dryer/puffer/toaster, fluidized bed cooler, impingement cooler, forced convection cooler and belt coolers. High velocity air passing through long tubes creates a bed of air, which suspends and tumbles the product as the air reflects from a solid, non-perforated conveyor. The open space between the tubes forms a chamber to settle out smaller pieces and return process air for recirculation without affecting the fluidizing air jets. During fluidization, each particle is surrounded and separated from adjacent particles by the treatment air.

Add or Remove Heat from a Process Mass with a Paddle Processor
Paddle dryer/processor functions as an efficient, mechanically agitated, indirect heat transfer device that adds or removes heat from a process mass. The dryers are used for drying, heating, cooling, pasteurization, crystallizing and reacting of pastes, cakes, powders and granules. Dual counter-rotating shafts with intermeshing wedge-shaped paddles produce intimate mixing and optimize heat transfer. The use of hollow paddles for heat transfer results in a compact machine. The heat transfer medium — which can include steam, oil, thermal fluid, water or glycol — is isolated from the process mass.

Ovens, Dryers Offered in Conveyor, Batch/Cabinet and Tunnel Models
Designed with single-, split- and dual-direction belts, Thermatrol electric, gas or propane conveyor ovens utilize infrared heaters, infra-air or combination infrared/convection heating so specific process needs are met. Other features include inline integral coolers, the ability to interface with external PLCs, and integration with robotic operations. The infrared heat panels provide uniform curing or drying over the entire process. Recirculating hot air using high velocity air knives breaks up moisture barriers and drives solvents away from the substrate.

Preheat and Curing Ovens for Powder Coating
Convection curing systems utilize about 50 percent of the oven length to raise the part to temperature, leaving less time to complete a cure. Infrared technology can be used to bring the part to temperature in one-tenth the time of a convection system, according to the company, to allow for more time at temperature to cure, or to increase production. Because infrared does not require air to transfer the energy to the product, different colored powder coated parts can be run, one after another, without cross contamination. Powder is gelled before reaching the convection portion of the system.

High Temperature Processing Using Indirectly Heated Rotary Calciners
Designed to provide an efficient means for continuously processing granular materials and powders at high temperatures in oxidizing, inert or reducing environments, rotary calciner consists of a cylindrical rotating tube housed in a refractory-lined gas or electric furnace, positively sealed to prevent air infiltration. Because the bed of material is constantly being turned over, solids-to-gas contact is optimized, minimizing process gas consumption and reducing the size of off-gas treatment systems. Product quality is optimized by a design that establishes and maintains the temperature profiles required of the process. The internal-flight design promotes a gentle tumbling action and provides uniform exposure and efficient heat transfer.

Web-Drying System Uses Radio Frequency Energy to Dry
Intended for applications in the converting and textile industries with patterned water-based glue and coatings, Macrowave selectively heats only the patterned coatings (wetted sections) on the web. The radio frequency dryer leaves the bound moisture in the substrate intact, thus preventing overdrying, distortion and shrinking. Capable of operating at speeds up to 1,500 ft/min, the drying system reduces make-ready because radio frequency power is instant on/off and energy is only consumed with a load in the system.
