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 mate...

Technically advancing your traditional heaters or dryer with infrared heaters or infrared based dryers are always has been great decision or making up to quality product requirements of the market with lesser cost and time. It’s important to stop for while to understand and give critical thinking over below points: What advantages will the Infrared heaters/dryers will bring along in my current process? Will it help in reducing the total processing cycle time?   What will type of materials, which get processed? What is the physical, physiochemical property, absorptivity, Size, Microstructure and Optical Properties of material?   Can the existing heating/drying system be used? What will be the space requirement for the new IR installation? There could be thousands of more questions or concern points that arise can arise in your mind when you think of such changes, hence it’s very important to take help or consult experts or heating consultant or search for heating ...

Biscuits and cookies have been part of our life since long time, we all love and like to eat some or other type of biscuits or cookies due its brand, taste, health benefits and many other reasons. One thing that we all love about them is their crispness, crispy and crunchy biscuits have always been first choice as biscuit and cookie lover. If it’s not crunchy then as consumer we never felt like we have some good biscuit or cookie and some it’s not baked properly, even if it’s over crunched and browned lots then also it gives taste like its burned while baking. Hence baking of biscuits and cookies become very important and critical for them to taste at best. Baking is one of very critical process in biscuits and cookies manufacturing plants, and it’s defined in food processing as process to heat the food to reduce its moisture completely and give them sustainable solid structure, so that they can last for longer time duration. In short the baking is kind of cooking food by the manne...

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-...

Radiation in the Electromagnetic Spectrum is often classified based on the wavelength (spatial period of the wave). Short wavelength radiation comprises of highest energy and which can be very harmful such as Gamma, X-rays and ultraviolet are some examples. Longer wavelength radiation carries lower energy and is typically harmless some examples include RF, Microwaves and infrared, hence these radiations find multiples application such as Communication, Heating, Data transmission and many more. Infrared (IR) is invisible radiant energy, electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, extending from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 700 nanometers (frequency 430 THz) to 1 mm (300 GHz), where as Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from as long as one meter to as short as one millimeter, or equivalently, with frequencies between 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz. Microwave are having larger wavelength as c...

IR radiation is generated using one of three different technologies: electric, gas catalytic, or radiant gas (and radiant gas systems are mainly used for space heating rather than process heating). Advantages/features Gas Fired Electric Fired Lower-cost energy source Yes No Uses less energy when only surface heating is required Yes Yes Provides well-controlled, low-intensity heat Yes Yes Provides highest-intensity heat No Yes Intensity can be easily adjusted for different products No Yes Electric infrared technology offers more flexibility than gas-catalytic regarding the fancied heating force. Electric and gas-catalytic IR advances have particular qualities that make them pretty much proper relying upon the material and the sort of process. Gas-catalytic IR frameworks by and large oblige a more prominent capita...

The plastics have became inseparable part human life, the use of plastic and products made by plastics are all around us, plastic has been chosen as alternative to metal post second world war, the popularity of plastic is due to its versatile nature of taking any shape and can be made hard enough for by selective chemical and heating process. Plastics are divided in to two categorizes 1) Thermoplastic 2) Thermosetting Plastic. Thermoplastics are relatively soft in nature and can be heated, moulded in shapes various times. Mostly find application in household such as mug, toys etc. where strength and toughness of plastic product is not desired. On other hand Thermosetting plastics are generally strong and resistant to heat, but they melt the first time they are heated to a high enough temperature and harden (set) permanently when cooled. They can never be melted or reshaped again. Hence rapid heating is desired for melding the thermosetting plastics, which is difficult to achieve fr...
