DryGenic© Air Dehumidifier

The Ventilex DryGenic® Air Dehumidifier is specifically developed for production and processing areas that are sensitive to moisture, temperature changes or micro-organisms. By dehumidifying these areas, condensation and metal corrosion are prevented, and fungi- and bacterial growth controlled. As a result, the production area becomes safe and perfectly controlled, thus significantly improving the working environment.

The air dehumidifier airdrying system utilises the principle of chemical absorption of moisture by a hygroscopic liquid salt. The air will be brought into close contact with this liquid salt for the moisture to be absorbed. Air dehumidifier dehumidification systems are specially designed to use low levels of energy and to minimise the total energy consumption. The system maintains the air at a constant, precise humidity level, regardless of weather conditions or load variations.

Besides the drying of the air, the air dehumidifier system also functions as an air washer for dust and gasses, in addition to ensuring the removal of almost all (70 to 97%) airborne bacteria. Air temperature and humidity levels are independently controlled by the air dehumidifier system. Simplicity and the choice of construction materials (industrial plastic) make the air dehumidifier a reliable machine with a long life span.

The air dehumidifier consisting of a conditioner and a regenerator is a very flexible system. Multiple conditioners can be connected to one single regenerator. As an extra advantage, the conditioner and regenerator can be divided. The regenerator can be placed in a technical room away from the conditioner, which is placed next to the process area.

The process air will be brought into close contact with a liquid salt solution, so that the moisture is absorbed to the desired humidity. At the same time the air is cooled to the desired temperature. This conditioning process takes place in a plastic scrubber called the conditioner. The regeneration of the DrySol is performed in the regenerator.

Ventilex fluid bed dryer

Working principle of the Ventilex Fluidized Bed Dryer: In a fluidized bed dryer, a product or solid is made ‘fluid’ by an upward-moving flow of gas.

The mechanical movement of the fluidized bed dryer strengthens this effect. This results in an optimal mix of gas and product so that high heat transfer and an optimum physical reaction speed are achieved.

By choosing the right combination of gas speed and mechanical movement, you can process granular products with a wide range of grain sizes successfully. While minimizing dust and fines, increasing yield.

VENTILEX FLUID BED DRYER FEATURES

• A mechanically simple, dependable, and reliable transport design
• An exclusive “shaking” motion that allows first-in, first-out drying of products. Heat time and temperature are controlled to create the most desirable effect
• Consistent, predictable results that are never over or under dried
• Fluidization or sub-fluidization of your product (when longer times in the dryer are needed), allowing for precise control of process-required plug flow characteristics
• Heavy duty, robust product transport that assures low-maintenance, dependability, and long equipment life

Ventilex Fluid Bed Dryers operate at temperatures ranging from -15° C to +600° C [5° to 1112° F] with gas speeds varying from 0.2 to 3 m/sec.

These high temperatures result in more drying air volume, which means greener, more sustainable process characteristics and remarkable energy efficiency. Ventilex systems energy efficiency results in lower operating costs for your process, while our simple drive, high quality materials, and minimal dust or fines formation lower maintenance costs and increase yields, as well.

We engineer fluid beds for all different types of applications. Knowing that no two applications are exactly alike, we take an engineered and systems approach for each installation. For food, dairy and hygienic applications, we offer our CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) design. For inert materials, we offer our high temperature design. Ventilex takes pride in matching our design to your fluid bed dryer needs, which results in cost savings for you.

Ventilex custom designs and builds a fluid bed dryer, cooler, or sterilizer to meet your requirements, no matter how strict.
