Laboratory system for drying and mixing processes

Simulates Drying and Mixing Processes

The BS-miniDRYⓇ DKL015 from BOLZ Process Technology is a compact and versatile laboratory conical screw dryer tailored for the simulation and scale-up of drying and mixing processes. This unit is integral to research labs and pilot plants, playing a crucial role in the development of pharmaceutical powders, specialty chemicals, and nutraceutical compounds. Its streamlined ‘plug and use’ design allows for effortless installation in confined spaces, such as ventilation booths. The system accommodates varying filling volumes from 10% to 100%, perfectly simulating real-world processing conditions without the need for excessive materials.

The BS-miniDRYⓇ operates at temperatures up to 240°C and pressures ranging from -1 to +6 bar, ensuring robust handling of diverse substances including slurries, granules, and powders. It boasts orbital and central shaft systems with interchangeable agitators, ideal for customization to specific trial requirements. The equipment is fabricated from stainless steel and materials like Hastelloy C22 to resist corrosion, making it suitable for demanding chemical processing environments. Integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) capabilities offer straightforward maintenance, minimizing downtime.

Engineered to comply with global standards such as GMP, FDA, and ATEX, as well as various pressure equipment directives, this dryer sustains safety and regulatory adherence in pharmaceutical and chemical operations. Optional features like sensors for precise monitoring, sampling valves, and a versatile heating jacket further enhance this equipment’s adaptability, making it an invaluable asset in R&D departments.
