Case Studies
Real projects, real materials, real results
A selection of engineering projects showing how our equipment was specified and configured to solve a specific drying or mixing challenge.
Vacuum Rake Drying for an Oxidation-Sensitive Chemical Intermediate
Fine chemical intermediate paste, moderate solvent content
A specialty chemical producer needed to dry a paste-form intermediate that was prone to oxidation and discoloration when exposed to air at elevated temperature. Conventional oven drying produced inconsistent color and required a lengthy secondary solvent-recovery step, adding cost and processing time to each batch.
Low-Temperature Conical Vacuum Drying for a Pharmaceutical Intermediate
Heat-sensitive pharmaceutical intermediate powder
A pharmaceutical intermediate producer required a drying process that would not expose the product to temperatures that risked degrading its active content, while still achieving the residual moisture target needed for the next processing step. The customer also required a design compatible with cleaning and inspection procedures common in GMP-oriented environments.
Filter Cake Volume Reduction with a Hollow Blade Dryer
Industrial filter cake / sludge
An industrial facility needed to reduce the volume and weight of filter cake generated by its wastewater treatment process to lower disposal costs and transport frequency. The material had a variable moisture content and needed continuous processing to keep pace with the treatment line.
Converting a Liquid Extract to Powder with Centrifugal Spray Drying
Food-grade liquid extract
A food ingredient manufacturer wanted to convert a liquid extract into a stable, free-flowing powder suitable for packaging and long-term storage, without a separate crushing or screening step, and while limiting thermal exposure during the brief drying period.
