Common Features
Main Features Common to all COMBER Machines
1. Indirect Heating Media
2. Vacuum
The heating / cooling fluid is never in contact with the product to be processed. The heat exchange takes place through the product contact surfaces only.
Most of the products to be processed are thermosensitive requiring low drying temperatures.
3. Batch Processing
4. Agitators
Discontinuous processing as per the general manufacturing practice in the pharmaceutical industry.
The agitator design is matched to each machine type to assure intensive mixing as well as good discharging characteristics.
Horizontal Shape :
Vertical Shape :
Horizontal paddle Dryers provide for fixed geometry for the whole drying process. The agitator is always in the product. Pharmadry® - Termomix®
Filters, Filter/Dryers and Agitated Vacuum Pan Dryers provide for variable geometry for the drying process. The agitator can be raised and lowered within the product mass to rotate at different levels. Turbodry® - Pressofiltro®
Application Areas
Main Areas in The Chemical Industry, Pharmaceutical ingredients, Fine chemicals and Intermediates.
General Classification of The Products Processed
The most significant production methods of the chemical industry, in particular pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals, can be divided into two product groups:
Free Flowing products, with free moisture :
Non Free Flowing products, with bound moisture :
Crystalline and powdery substances that contain the moisture within the individual particles on their surface and/or in pores within their surface.
Amorphous, fibrous, pasty, easily agglomerating products with chemically bound moisture and/or moisture enclosed within the structure of the particles.
