Protein powder drying Equipment

Industrial drying machines are designed to remove moisture from your product. But the drying process must cater to variations in the state of matter and molecular structure of the input material. Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Drying

It took the scientific community almost 70 years to agree on the name ‘protein’ and discard the popular alternative, proteid. But protein powder processing still needed another five decades to be commercialized in the 1950s. Once extraction and purification could be industrialized, protein powder soon became a basic staple supplement.

The laboratory-scale active freeze-drying is used for dehydrating high-value products that are too sensitive for conventional drying processes. The product is dried by freezing and subsequent sublimation of ice formation, typically in vacuum and at low temperatures, in a small laboratory and pilot plant scale, enabling a smooth transition to the production plant.


<h2>Start innovating with freeze-drying technology</h2>
The 1-liter laboratory-scale freezer dryer from Hosokawa Micron is quicker and less labor-intensive than traditional tray-type freeze dryers. It offers the possibility of producing loose and free-flowing powder at low temperatures and low pressures, all in one vessel. Ideal for testing and simulating processes, the lab unit is "plug and play", including controls and all necessary equipment for reliable operation in your laboratory environment. Ideally suited for pharmaceuticals like antibiotics, collagens, APIs and electrolytes; food industry and special materials like nanomaterials, polymers, ceramics, pigments, fillers, limestone, catalysts, glass powder and salts.

When your product or process is sensitive to humidity, using an air dehumidifier may result in substantial savings on the running costs of your plant.


<h2>Precise humidity and temperature control</h2>
The Air dehumidifiers from Ventilex come in a variety of configurations depending on air volumes, temperature range, available energy, and any need for additional biocidal capacity. The systems keep the air at a constant, precise humidity regardless of weather conditions or load variations.

Any manufacturing or processing operation, that is humidity, temperature, or micro-organism sensitive, is a natural application for a dehumidification system. Whether your space conditions are 25 ºC and 20% RH, or 5ºC and 40% RH, or even –20ºC and –40ºC dew-point, the system can provide those conditions every day. The result is a better bottom line.

Ventilex Drygenic air dehumidifier is easy to operate, eliminates airborne micro-organisms, and saves energy and investment costs.

Air dehumidifier for bulk products

In a Fluid Bed, a product or solid is made fluid by an upward moving flow of gas. The mechanical movement of the Fluid Bed strengthens this effect. Thus, the gas and product are intensively mixed so that high heat transfer and an optimum physical reaction speed are achieved.


<h2>Continuous fluid bed dryer for an energy-efficient drying</h2>
Ventilex Continuous fluid bed dryers apply world-leading fluid bed technology to high-throughput bulk processes. By choosing a good combination of gas speed and mechanical movement, you will be able to process granular products with a wide range of grain sizes while forming a minimum amount of dust.

Many industries that process materials in pellet, powder, or crumble form need a closely controlled drying and/or cooling process to ensure product quality. This line of cooling/drying conveyors provides this function in a highly flexible, modular design configurable to any industry.


<h2>A completely modular line of drying and cooling conveyors</h2>
Amandus Kahl’s line of cooling /drying conveyors is configurable to meet the cooling and drying needs of any industry that deals with pelletized or granular dry bulk material. Process air is drawn through a layer of the customer’s bulk product as it travels along a conveyor. The conveyor bed is either composed of slotted plates attached to driven chains, or a full fabric belt depending on the characteristics of the product being cooled or dried. The belt speed is adjustable and used along with configuration of the overall belt length to precisely determine the product retention time. For enhanced drying, process air can be heated to 200 C, but drying can also be achieved using only air at ambient temperature. Cooling is also controlled and enhanced by the characteristics of the process air and overall product retention time. The modular design of the line allows the use of several layers of belts to be stacked on top of one another and a wide variety of belt widths and lengths are available. Airflow through the array of belts can also be uniquely configured to accommodate a wide variety of process needs.

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.
