On display at this firm’s booth will be a hiconti pilot plant that will later be delivered to a customer from the pharmaceutical industry. The unit is designed for continuous and homogeneous drying of various extrudates in pilot scale, prepared for the existing production plant. The system operates at a continuous throughput of 22 to 44 kg/h of humid product, which is dried at low temperatures in a defined period. The conditioned inlet air is fed via a three-zone air distributor and evenly distributed into the drying chambers through a sieve bottom. Other features include: through-the-wall execution, an explosion-protection system, WIP-cleaning, qualification according to GAMP 5 and process validation. — Hall 5, Booth 411 — Heinen Drying GmbH, Varel, Germany
