Drying

British Rema offers a range of drying equipment to suit many different industrial process applications from granulation, mixing and blending, to specialist applications such as the treatment of powdered particulates, suspensions and polymers.

Selection of the correct design of drying equipment when a product is being formulated ensures that issues relating to flow of product and product collection are minimized and that material is effectively dried, conveyed, discharged and transported.

British Rema’s understanding of a wide range of materials and their formulations means that we can advise on the correct form of drying operation, from gentle, circulating air dryers to fluid bed and vacuum drying where the specific characteristics of a particle’s physical behaviour, its rheology, or its chemistry must be preserved.

Vacuum Dryers

Suitable for the gentle drying of sensitive materials, this category of dryer requires lower temperatures for the evaporation of water (or other solvents ) due to near vacuum conditions within the dryer.

Fluid Bed Dryers

Especially suited to the gentler drying of free-flowing, sensitive, granular materials such as foods, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.

Conical Dryers

Conical (or vertical) dryers can be used in a wide range of applications from the dry blending of spices to the blending of polyester dispersions, chemicals, coatings, cosmetics, foods, pharmaceuticals and plastics. Vacuum and non-vacuum designs are available to permit drying or de-aeration if required.

Circulating Air Drying Ovens

Employing a range of heating media, this type of oven is particularly suitable for drying chemical and pharmaceutical products, as well as for heating, tempering and sterilization operations.
