Micronizing and Drying Powders since 1955, Experts in Equipment Engineering and High Quality Contract Powder Processing.
Exceptionally efficient flash drying and de-agglomeration in a single system. Flash Dryers, Slurry Drying, Calcining & De-agglomeration Applications for Heat Sensitive Products. The ThermaJetTM system produces a discrete, dry product from any raw feed, including wet powder, slurry, centrifuge, or filter cake. Automated system operation and high thermal transfer maximize product quality and drying efficiency.
Fluid Energy flash dryers are characterized by continuous, dynamic convective hot air heat and mass transfer process. Flash drying involves using a stream of turbulent, hot air to rapidly heat and deagglomerate wet material, evaporating retained moisture. A ThermaJet’s wide range of operational temperatures and drying gases provide safe processing of all materials including heat-sensitive and reactive products. We leverage our vast experience with powder drying solutions and apply it to designs with the needs of our customers in mind.. Our systems are engineered for laboratory, pilot and full-scale production from 50 grams to 100,000 pounds an hour. Higher pressures can be used when a combination of drying and grinding is required.
The Thermajet™ Flash Drying System produces a discrete, dry product from any feed material, including wet powder, slurry, centrifuge or filter cake. Automated system operation and high thermal transfer maximize product quality and drying efficiency. Systems are engineered for laboratory, pilot and full-scale production from 10 to 100,000 lb/hr. The Thermajet™ has a wide range of operating temperatures, pressures, and drying media providing safe processing of all materials including heat-sensitive and reactive products. High pressures can be used when a combination of drying and grinding is required.
The high speed, turbulent flow inside the THERMAJET™ flash dryer allows efficient drying at lower outlet temperatures due to the greater surface area of the deagglomerated product.
The Thermajet™ flash dryer system is constructed entirely in the USA of only the highest quality components. The low-maintenance design has no moving parts and can be opened quickly and easily for inspection or cleaning. All parts are made in the USA which guarantees rapid delivery of spare items. Comprehensive engineering and durable construction enable our system to operate continuously 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Thermajet™ testing is done at our facility in Pennsylvania where detailed process data can be obtained for your application. Fluid Energy engineers and quality service technicians are immediately available to provide technical assistance and to guarantee that the Therma-Jet Flash Dryer System performs to your complete satisfaction.
Completely enclosed closed loop system including inert gas resupply and solvent removal condensers can be incorporated into most ThermaJet systems allowing for the safe process of solvents and/or hazardous materials.
The THERMAJET™ flash dryer is also an effective flash calciner in applications where the chemical reaction occurs at less than 900° F. The turbulent environment in the drying chamber provides instant and uniform heating of particles. This treatment yields a fine, deagglomerated, calcined product. The low residence time and immediate system response allow instantaneous calcining refinements to optimize the product.
Most of Fluid Energy’s advanced flash drying systems are available on a rental basis to fulfill your immediate processing requirements.
Fluid Energy maintains a facility for fine / ultra fine grinding of your material on a contractual basis. Other services include blending, drying and packaging. Our fully equipped QA laboratories are available for moisture, particle size and custom analyses of your products.
