Application of conductive heat transfer drying equipment in pharmacy

Zyzhan Guide: Conductive drying method indirectly transfers the heat required for drying through the surface of the metal. The drying rate is lower than the direct drying method. The product temperature during constant-speed drying has no relationship with the temperature of the heating source, and is substantially the same as the saturation temperature of the gas pressure in the apparatus.

   In order to increase the drying rate and prevent uneven drying, mechanical agitation or the rotation of the container itself is usually used to increase or continuously update the heat transfer surface of the material, so it is necessary to further study the adhesion problem of the heat transfer mechanism. The drying unit itself is expensive, but it is characterized by a small load on the dust collecting system, high thermal efficiency, easy recovery of the solvent, and the total cost is much cheaper than the direct drying method.

(1) Belt dryer

The belt dryer consists of several independent unit sections. Each unit section includes a circulating fan, a heating device, a separate or common fresh air intake system, and an exhaust gas exhaust system. The operating parameters of the amount of drying medium, temperature, humidity and exhaust gas circulation can be independently controlled to ensure the reliability of the operation of the dryer and the optimization of operating conditions. With dry machine operation flexible, wet material feeding, drying process in a completely sealed box, labor conditions are better, to avoid the leakage of dust. It is used for the drying of flake, strip and granular materials with good gas permeability. It is especially suitable for materials such as dehydrated vegetables and Chinese herbal medicines with high water content and high material temperature.

(2) a drum dryer <br> <br> scraper blade dryer is a drum by rotating the cylinder, a heat-conducting manner, attached to the outer wall of the liquid material or strip material, a drying A continuous operation device. The liquid to be dried is flowed from the high level tank into the receiving tank of the drum dryer. The drying drum is driven by the transmission and rotates at a specified speed. The material is formed by a film coating device to form a film on the wall surface of the drum. The cylinder is continuously fed into the heating medium to heat the cylinder body, and the moisture of the film is vaporized by the heat transfer of the cylinder wall, and then the material that meets the drying requirement is scraped off by a scraper, and is spirally conveyed into the storage tank for packaging. The moisture removed by evaporation, depending on its nature, can be introduced into the corresponding treatment device through a closed hood; typically water vapor, which can be directly discharged into the atmosphere by an exhaust pipe at the top of the hood. The machine is mainly used for the treatment of liquid materials, which can be heated and dried by steam, hot water or hot oil, and can be cooled by cold water. According to different material properties and process requirements, immersion, spray, and milled auxiliary feeding methods can be adopted.

(3) Hollow paddle dryer (blade dryer)

The hollow blade dryer, also known as the blade dryer, is mainly composed of a W-shaped casing with a jacket and two hollow blade shafts and a transmission device. Hollow blades are arranged on the shaft, and the rotary end of the heat medium is introduced at the shaft end. The heat required to dry the moisture is conducted to the material by the inner wall of the jacketed W-shaped groove and the hollow blade wall. During the drying process, the hollow shaft with hollow blades agitates the material while heating the material, thereby updating the heating surface. It is a continuous conduction heating dryer. The heating medium is steam, hot water or heat transfer oil. The heating medium is introduced into the casing jacket and the two hollow blade shafts, and the materials are heated and dried by conduction heating, and the hollow shaft structure of different materials is different.

The machine is suitable for processing various materials with good thermal stability such as paste, granule and powder. Under special conditions, the heat sensitive material can also be dried and the solvent can be recovered during the drying process. It is commonly used for drying or cooling materials such as carbon black, light calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, barium carbonate, nitrile uric acid, gypsum, clay, manganese dioxide, nylon and polyester chips, polyethylene, polypropylene (recovery solvent).

(4) Vacuum rake dryer <br> <br> dried intermediate material was added from the housing Founder rake vacuum dryer, stirring continued rotation of the rake teeth, the material in contact with the housing wall, surface continuously Update, the material to be dried is indirectly heated by steam (or hot water, heat transfer oil), but the moisture of the material is vaporized, and the vaporized water is pumped away by the vacuum pump in time. The material to be dried is indirectly heated by the heat carrier to vaporize the water in the material, and the vaporized water is discharged by the vacuum pump in time.

Due to the high degree of operating vacuum, generally in the range of 400-700 mmHg, the water vapor pressure on the surface of the dried material is much larger than the water vapor pressure in the evaporation space in the dryer housing. Thereby, it is beneficial to the discharge of the internal moisture and the surface moisture of the dried material, and is beneficial to the movement of the water molecules of the dried material to achieve the purpose of drying. The vacuum kneading dryer is suitable for heat sensitive materials, materials that are easily oxidized at high temperatures or materials that are easy to be kneaded during drying, and materials that must be recovered from steam discharged during drying. Typical dry materials are sodium propylene sulfonate, CMC, phthalocyanine blue, dye intermediates, carboxymethyl starch, maltodextrin, hydrazine sulfonic acid and the like.

(5) double cone rotary vacuum dryer <br> <br> double cone rotary vacuum dryer as slightly olive-shaped body, covered at both ends, an intermediate shaft disposed two holder body. The body has a jacket to heat, and the body can be rotated when dry, so that the material and the wall are frequently replaced, which overcomes the disadvantage that the material in the vacuum oven mainly passes through the heating cylinder and has low thermal efficiency. Rotary vacuum dryers have been widely used in fine chemicals and medicines, and are not suitable for materials with high viscosity or strong adhesion during the turning process. The equipment is mainly used for concentrating, mixing, drying and low-temperature drying materials (such as biochemical products) of powder, granular and fibrous materials in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries, and is more suitable for oxidizing, volatile and heat sensitive. Strongly irritating, toxic materials and dryness of materials that do not allow damage to the crystals.

(6) Since after <br> <br> vacuum oven under reduced pressure, the evaporation temperature of the material contained in the evaporation of the volatiles can be reduced for a variety of heat-sensitive, easily dried oxide material. This device is usually a cylinder or other vacuum-operated outer casing, which is heated by electric heating or hot water or heat-conducting oil through a heating plate or a heating pipe, and is suitable for batch production in small batches.

The oven is a general-purpose drying equipment with a wide application surface. It is a tray-type intermittent drying equipment used in pharmaceutical, chemical and food. Heat curing, drying and dehydration of materials and products in light industry, heavy industry and other industries. Such as raw materials, raw drugs, Chinese herbal medicine pieces, extracts, powders, granules, granules, water pills, packaging bottles, pigment dyes, dehydrated vegetables, dried melons, sausages, plastic resins, electrical components, baking varnish and so on.

(7) freeze-drying machine <br> <br> freeze dryer feed solution is cooled to freezing, then sublimation under reduced pressure to obtain a dry ice material. Since the entire process is carried out below freezing point, it is often used for drying of heat sensitive articles. It is difficult to heat the frozen material under vacuum, and a large refrigeration system is required to condense the sublimated water vapor under reduced pressure, so the drying cost is large. The moisture in the highly heat sensitive material is frozen and will be maintained at a temperature below freezing below under high vacuum. The water is sublimed to separate from the material. The loss of active ingredients in the material is small, but the drying rate is low.

The above is the basic type of several common drying devices. We can develop variants based on the original requirements of the user and the material drying process.
