Applications and Advantages of Vacuum Dryers

Drying is the process of the removal of the water or solvents by the process of evaporation; hence the output of dryer must be a solid material in the form of any defined structure or powder. To achieve the dried output the heat is applied to evaporate water or solvents.
What if I say we have to dry the heat sensitive material; how will dry them if heat is applied to evaporate the water or solvent contents then material itself can get harmed as being the heat sensitive material, hence the special provisions required to dry such heat sensitive materials. To dry such heat sensitive materials it’s required to lower down the environmental pressure, as the water and many solvents reach to boiling point at lower temperature with the pressure is lower by creating the vacuum, hence this process is known as vacuum drying (#vacuumdrying). The marriage of heat and vacuum together have proven as very effective source of the drying at relatively lower temperature, the moisture content in the material dried via vacuum dryers are lower as compared to normal dryer, those are not using the vacuum.
We at KERONE are specialized in manufacturing the superior quality and customized vacuum dryers contacting various type of drying technologies such as microwave vacuum dryer, hot water vacuum dryer, electrical vacuum dryer and etc.
Advantages of the Vacuum dryers:

  1. Vacuum dryers are very efficient heat sensitive
  2. Materials can be dryers in containers or enclosures
  3. Average drying temperature is much lower than standard dryers 
  4. Drying action becomes faster as heat is easily transferred throughout the body of the dryers, due to its large surface area
  5. Dries large moisture as compared to normal dryers 
  6. Quality of dries material is better than that of the normal dryers

Limitation of vacuum dryers:


  1. Vacuum Drying process is batch type drying process (#dryingprocess) It has low efficiency.
  2. Vacuum dryers are expensive 
  3. Vacuum dryers require skilled labour to operate 
  4. Cost of maintenance are high

Application of the Vacuum dryers:
The Vacuum dryers find application in various type of the industries such as:


  1. Chemical process industries
  2. Food processing 
  3. Pharmaceutical
  4. Plastic
  5. Timber
  6. Paper and other industries

Different Types of Sterilization Process

  Sterilization can be accomplished by an amalgamation of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration such as steam under pressure, dry heat, ultraviolet radiation, gas vapour sterilants, chlorine dioxide gas etc. Successful sterilization strategies are necessary for working in a lab and negligence of this could lead to severe consequences, it could unexpectedly cost a life. So what are the more frequently utilized methods of sterilization in the laboratory, and how do they work? The Sterilization is conveyed out by the methods according to requirement. The methods are: 1. Moist Heat Sterilization 2. Dry Heat Sterilization 3. Gas Sterilization and Others. Moist Heat Sterilization:  Moderate pressure is utilized in steam sterilization. Steam is utilized under pressure as a means of accomplishing an elevated temperature. It is dominant to confirm the accurate quality of steam is utilized in order to keep away the problems which follow, superheating of the steam, f...

Microwave Continuous Vulcanization (CV) Rubber Curing Oven

Vulcanization is process of converting natural rubber or rubber polymers into more durable and mechanically strengthens rubber by the process of mixing sulfur and processing. This process results in changing the cross-linking bonds within the natural rubber and making bonds more strong and non-sticky.  Vulcanization curing is achieved by heating the natural rubber or rubber polymer at very high temperature along with sulfur or any other agent, such high level of temperature rise results into changing of bond within the rubber and resulting in non-sticky, maker it lesser deformable when heated, and removes the brittleness this helps rubber to achieve the desired level of elasticity. Continuous Vulcanization curingprocess is most common process used for variety of application. In the process Continuous Vulcanization curing rubber and accelerator is put under high temperature and pressure, this mixture is passed through the continuous heating line during the process, some of C-...

Organic Food and its increasing consumer demand

Organic Food Processing  is where organic raw materials are processed into food and drink. The organics standard of food processing is to protect the food constituents so that organic ingredients are used, and encourage the avoidance of unnecessary chemical or physical. Organic labeling offers consumers, the confidence that the eatables they consume are produced under controlled organic standards. Organic food should be of high nutritional and high natural quality. With the growing awareness even the governments of various countries have setup a separate body to monitor the whole Organic Processing System, in India that being National Program for Organic Production (NPOP). India is one of the upcoming leading processors in this sector. Some private standards demand that organic food should fulfill the criteria of wholesome nutrition, where processing methods must be seen as relevant tools. Most processing methods have more or less strong influences on product properties. Heat...
