This dryer also performs other unit operations

The Boono Paddle Dryer is an indirect dryer that can also be used for crystallization, coating, sterilization and calcinations. The wide range of applications makes it suitable for use in the food, pharmaceutical and fine-chemicals industries. The large surface area…

Recover precious-metal catalysts with this depth filter

The new depth filter medium, BecoPad recovers precious metal catalysts from reaction products without losses, so they can be returned to the process. Because very fine catalyst components are also removed, the very high purity of the mineral-free BecoPad and…

A less complicated filtration system

As an alternative to more complex and expensive technologies, the simplefilter is designed for many applications, such as hydrogenation, carbon filtration, catalyst recovery, prefilter for microfiltration and for filtration of APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) and intermediates. The simplefilter consists of…

Determining Packing Height With Accuracy

Equilibrium stage simulations are the nearly universal process design tool for mass transfer columns that contact vapor and liquid in countercurrent flow. Whether the service is absorption, stripping, distillation, fractionation, quench or evaporation, equilibrium stage models make mass and heat…

Reduce Costs with ‘Step-down’ Filtration

Among the challenges of effective solid-liquid filtration is the accumulation of solids on the filter surface, which creates an increasingly dense mass that process fluid must push through. In many applications in the chemical process industries (CPI), a step-down filtration…

This agitator design improves performance of Nutsche filtration

Good agitated Nutsche filter dryer performance relies heavily on the agitator design. The design of this companys agitator has a series of sharp curved blades with spaces at different centers of each arm. When moving or lifting filter cake product…

This cake dryer has a unique heat-transfer system

The CakeStand Tray Dryer uses a unique heat-transfer system that ensures uniformity across all heating plates. The ergonomically designed unit has features, such as a pivoting door, front and back access, and heating plates that hang from the roof, that…

This multimotion dryer is kind to sensitive products

The Planex System is a patented, horizontal paddle vacuum dryer developed for vacuum drying of wet powders obtained from a centrifuge or filter press. The system consists of a fixed cylindrical chamber with an eccentric agitator inside with two independent…

This filter tackles difficult liquid filtration challenges

The new ZCore depth cartridge filter is said to offer improved performance, less downtime and reduced operating costs. The ZCore is especially suited for extreme applications where traditional cartridge filters are not effective, such as hot-water sanitizing, high-temperature chemical processing,…
