Stainless steel caps of various sizes placed in Baskets were subjected to intense drying tests.
Drying bulk material used to place many an operator in a dilemma. Spinning in a centrifuge tended to leave surfaces scratched. Omitting spinning left bulk material wet. So, what to do? Actually, there is an alternative on the market that is capable of perfectly drying bulk material in static mode.
More than 20 years ago, drying system manufacturer Harter’s extensive development effort was rewarded by finding a special solution for drying bulk material in fully static or minimal intermittent movement mode. Hundreds of bulk material dryers have since been designed and built. Still, widespread belief persistently holds that this is impossible. Harter’s heat pump based condensation dryers can prove otherwise, again and again. Prospective customers may visit reference clients or have drying tests run in Harter’s pilot plant station. “Prospects may convince themselves of how powerful our technology can be for their special portfolio” says managing owner Reinhold Specht. Series of tests are conducted to determine the parameters controlling successful drying, namely time, temperature, humidity, airflow rate and speed, and air routeing. Specht continues: “Drying tests form the basis for dryer design. This procedure has proved itself excellently over the decades.”
