How we engineer the solution
From Process Data to Production Equipment
1. Define the Material
Characterize physical properties and process behavior.
2. Select the Mixing Action
Choose the appropriate agitator, vessel and energy input.
3. Validate the Process
Use calculations, experience and testing where needed.
4. Integrate the System
Controls, feeding, discharge, utilities and documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Engineering FAQ
How is a vacuum mixer-dryer sized?
Sizing requires feed mass, initial and final moisture, solvent identity, drying time, heat-transfer data, bulk density and the material behavior throughout the cycle.
Can solvents be recovered?
Condensers and receivers can be integrated when compatible with the process, equipment classification and applicable regulations.
Can the same machine mix before drying?
Yes. Many systems are configured for charging, mixing, liquid addition, reaction or coating before the vacuum-drying stage.
