Automating the drying process offers appealing protection against the challenges of hiring and retaining operators with the skill to produce an identical recipe every day — and the willingness to simply show up and do the job.
If an application generates heavy amounts of moisture or involves drying solvents, the role of proper ventilation and the design of the exhaust system must be considered.
Drying applications vary: from drying frac sand — a relatively simply process often performed for screening purposes — to applications like drying wetted primer in ammunition — a process that depends on accurate temperatures sustained over time. Yet, in drying applications from simple to complex, airflow and temperature uniformity makes a difference.
A batch processing feature is suited for OEMs and end users with thermal processes that seek to collect manufacturing part processing thermal data. With that in mind, Watlow introduced a batch processing feature for its F4T temperature and process controller and D4T datalogger.
Thermal heat-exchange surfaces are used on vessels for controlling temperature and quality of the contents of the vessel. Heat exchange surfaces can be designed for heating or cooling. Jacketed vessels are used in many industries and can be used to remove the elevated heat of reaction (heat reactor vessel) or reduce the viscosity of high viscous fluids.
The 500°F (260°C), top-loading oven can be used for applications such as drying water from racks of piston rings. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 48 x 48 x 36", and 40 KW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular heating elements.
Used for curing epoxy, No. 942 is a gas-fired, 350°F (177°C) walk-in batch oven. Workspace dimensions measure 84 x 144 x 108", and 400,000 BTU/hr are installed in a modulating natural gas burner to heat the unit.
This demanding process must be kept at certain temperatures under difficult conditions to be effective. A datalogger provides the means verify wash water temperatures.
Many industrial laundry processors use sizeable industrial machines to process laundry on a large scale. In many countries, industrial laundry processors must follow regulations to confirm — via temperature verification — that proper processing has occurred.
