Tray Dryer

The Tray Dryer is designed for batch drying of pharmaceutical powders, granules, and other suitable solid materials. It operates on the principle of forced convection, where heated air circulates through an enclosed drying chamber containing material arranged in trays. The heated airflow facilitates moisture evaporation, while moisture-laden air is discharged through the exhaust system.

Intence Engineering includes Tray Dryers in its pharmaceutical drying equipment portfolio. Tray drying technology provides a practical solution for processing materials that require stationary batch drying rather than fluidized movement. The selection of heating, airflow, and tray arrangements depends on the product characteristics and required drying conditions.

Applications of Tray Dryer

1. Pharmaceutical Granule Drying: Removing moisture from suitable wet granules prepared during pharmaceutical granulation processes.
2. Powder and Raw Material Drying: Drying pharmaceutical powders, excipients, and compatible raw materials under controlled temperature conditions.
3. Solid Dosage Material Preparation: Preparing suitable dried materials for subsequent milling, blending, tablet compression, and capsule filling operations.
4. Pharmaceutical and Allied Processing: Supporting batch drying of compatible materials used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and allied manufacturing applications.

Key Features

• Hot Air Circulation Drying: Uses heated airflow to promote moisture removal from materials distributed across drying trays.
• Batch Drying Operation: Allows materials to remain stationary within the chamber throughout the drying cycle.
• Tray-Based Material Arrangement: Provides multiple drying surfaces for distributing products in suitable layer thicknesses.
• Forced Convection Principle: Circulating air transfers heat to the material and carries evaporated moisture away from the drying surfaces.
• Temperature-Controlled Processing: Heating and temperature monitoring can be incorporated to maintain suitable drying conditions.
• Controlled Moisture Removal: Supports drying processes designed to achieve the required residual moisture characteristics.
• Flexible Batch Applications: Suitable for different materials and batch requirements when compatible trays and operating conditions are selected.

Available Capacity

Capacity: Based on Tray Quantity, Loading Requirements, and Equipment Design

Tray Dryer capacity is generally determined by the number of trays, available drying surface area, material loading per tray, and selected chamber dimensions. The appropriate configuration depends on product characteristics, batch quantity, drying temperature, and required processing time. Specific tray capacities and model dimensions for Intence Engineering’s Tray Dryer should be confirmed with the manufacturer.
