Inert loop for safe organic solvent spray drying
Ensure safe handling and efficient recovery of organic solvents in spray drying processes, minimizing explosion risks and environmental impact while optimizing operational costs.
Safely Recovers and Recycles Organic Solvents
The Inert Loop S-395 from BUCHI is designed to safely handle organic solvents in laboratory-scale spray drying applications. It operates by creating an inert gas atmosphere, preventing explosive conditions through precise oxygen and pressure control. This system is pivotal for industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food, where safe solvent recovery is essential. The Inert Loop S-395 offers environmental and cost benefits by minimizing inert gas consumption and recycling up to -30 °C through its closed-loop cooling circuit. It seamlessly integrates with BUCHI’s Mini Spray Dryer S-300, utilizing an intuitive PLC system for easy operation and possible combination with the Dehumidifier S-396 for handling solvent and water mixtures. Fabricated with durable materials suitable for corrosive environments, this equipment ensures long-lasting performance and compliance with industry safety standards. Customizable and compact, the S-395 reduces installation space with its integrated trolley, promoting a cleaner, more efficient laboratory workflow.
