The biomass left aside after an extraction process can be dryed out to recover the valuable solvent still contained in it. On the other hand, drying might be necessary because of regulatory constraints or future usage of the spent biomass, to remove the solvent content before it goes away. The solvent recovered during drying can be reused for other operations or shall be regenerated in a distillation column.
DE DIETRICH PROCESS SYSTEMS KEY BENEFITS
Multiple technologies available, adapted to each requirement
Our engineering teams can integrate up-stream and down-stream equipment aside the dryer itself, delivering flawless turnkeys units
MAIN FEATURES
Conical, bi-conical, spherical, horizontal and pan dryers
Vacuum drying to preserve the organoleptic properties and to achieve very low residual moisture content
Stirrer & drive design ensure a powerful and efficient mixing
Heating of stirrer shall benefit dramatically to the efficiency of the drying, accounting for up to 50% of the energy transfer
Load factors up to 80% on certain equipment
Telescopic lump-breakers systems can be installed when conglomerates are likely to form during drying
Product discharge can be done in a contained way
Dust filters with automatic unclogging cycles prevent any contamination of the vacuum line and components
Turnkey units, including all auxiliary equipment: heating units, condensers, buffer tanks, filling stations with weighing control, frameworks, in line screening/milling and packaging systems…
