Concept
A multitude of drier technologies is applied in the bioprocess industries to achieve the required final product quality. Methods differ in
- The way the drying good is transported through the drier (by gravity, pneumatic or mechanical),
- The heat transfer (contact with hot surface, hot air, superheated steam), as well as
- The primary energy source (steam, gas)
In common use are spray and fluidized bed driers, ring and rotary drum driers as well as tube bundle driers.
