Continuous hot air conveying dryer for chemical and pharmaceutical industries
Ensure rapid moisture removal with high-temperature drying, ideal for handling slurries, wet solids, or when instant evaporation is critical for maintaining product integrity.

Dries and Atomizes Slurries and Wet Solids
The RINA Flash Dryer from Riera Nadeu is designed for industries requiring rapid drying of slurries and wet solids, utilizing a high-temperature continuous pneumatic process that ensures efficient moisture removal. This versatile dryer, suitable for applications in pharmaceuticals, biotech, chemicals, food, mining, oil, and gas industries, offers a solution for transforming challenging materials into fine powders.
The RINA Flash Dryer operates by utilizing atomization or dosing of the material into a specialized drying chamber available in toroidal or straight configurations. The toroidal design maximizes turbulence to enhance drying efficiency and particle disaggregation, while the straight design provides a laminar flow for consistent drying results. Both configurations ensure optimal solvent and energy efficiency, minimizing particle loss through optional cyclones, bag filters, or scrubbers.
With a modular design, the RINA Flash Dryer offers flexible integration into existing production lines with easy adaptation for space constraints and local emission requirements. It is equipped to handle up to 3,500 kg/h of wet product, making it ideal for large-scale operations. Materials used in construction can be customized for abrasive applications, ensuring longevity and maintaining low maintenance needs.
Certified for use in explosive hazardous environments, the dryer can also operate in a closed-loop circuit with nitrogen. The RINA Flash Dryer promises seamless automation and integration, supporting efficient production workflows and enhancing overall plant productivity.
