A dryer (), comprising a dryer chamber () coupled to a closed loop gas-circulating system for circulating gas through the dryer chamber (); wherein the closed loop gas-circulating system recirculates the gas and comprises: a compressor () coupled to receive return gas from the dryer chamber () and to compress the return gas to provide compressed gas; a separator () sitting in the gas-circulating system for draining condensate from the gas; and a gas discharger () coupled to receive compressed gas from the compressor () and to discharge the compressed gas through a discharger exit (). The separator sits in the closed loop gas-circulating system downstream of the compressor to receive compressed gas and upstream of the gas discharger (). Thereby drying efficacy is improved and is advantageous at relatively low drying temperatures such as below 40 degrees Celsius. There is also provided a door for a dryer, a method of operating a dryer and a method of drying, such as a method of drying pharmaceutical substances, compounds, ingredients or products.

Dryer and method of drying

Steam nozzle

This invention relates to a sonic device (and a method) for enhancing a process involving a solid object and a gas, where the gas surrounds the object or at least is in contact with a surface of the object, the device comprising sonic means for applying a high intensity sound or ultrasound to at least the surface object, wherein the high intensity sound or ultrasound, during use of the sonic device, is applied directly in the gas that is also the medium through which the high intensity sound or ultrasound propagates to the surface of the object, whereby a laminar sub-layer at the surface of the object is reduced and/or minimized. The reduction of the laminar sub-layer provides increased heat transfer efficiency and/or increased catalytic speed and/or increased gas exchange.

Method and device for enhancing a process involving a solid object and a gas

A conveyor apparatus for conveying objects () along a path, the path including an upstream portion () and a curved portion (), the upstream portion () defining a direction of entry into the curved portion (), the curved portion () defining a radially outward direction transverse to the direction of entry into the curved portion; the conveyor apparatus comprising suspension means () adapted to travel along the path and to carry an object () to be conveyed suspended at the suspension means (); and deflection means () arranged to deflect an object () suspended at the suspension means () in the radially outward direction when the suspension means () travels along the upstream portion () towards the curved portion ().

Conveyor apparatus

This invention relates to a plasma surface modification process (and a corresponding a system) of a solid object () comprising creating plasma () by a plasma source (), application of the plasma () to at least a part of a surface () of the solid object (), generating ultrasonic high intensity and high power acoustic waves () by at least one ultrasonic high intensity and high power acoustic wave generator (), wherein the ultrasonic acoustic waves are directed to propagate towards said surface () of the object () so that a laminar boundary layer () of a gas or a mixture of gases () flow in contact with said solid object () is thinned or destructed for at least a part of said surface (). In this way, the plasma can more efficiently access and influence the surface of the solid object to be treated by the plasma, which speeds the process time up significantly.

Enhancing plasma surface modification using high intensity and high power ultrasonic acoustic waves

According to the invention a method (and corresponding system) of enhancing application of high intensity acoustic waves is provided, wherein acoustic waves, e.g. ultrasound, and a gaseous medium, e.g. steam, coincide at a treatment zone. This is achieved by a combination of one or more high intensity acoustic generators and/or reflectors. In this way, enhanced efficiency in an area of the gaseous medium (or where the gaseous medium is to affect something) is obtained since a second generator or a reflector is located so that the acoustic waves directly influence the gaseous medium.

A method and a device to be used in the process of manufacturing plates, such as fiberboards or the like boards, where the raw material in form of bio-mass particles, such as wood fibers or the like, applied with a thermosetting binder is spread onto a forming belt to form a mat, and where said mat by means of a hot press is compressed into the desired thickness of the finished plate and the thermosetting binder is hardened. According to the inventing a system and corresponding method for manufacturing biomass-based products is provided that has enhanced efficiency due to the application of ultra sound.

Method and system for enhanced manufacturing of biomass-based products

A method and a device to be used in the process of manufacturing plates, such as fiberboards or the like boards, where the raw material in form of biomass particles, such as wood fibers or the like, applied with a thermosetting binder is spread onto a forming belt to form a mat, and where said mat by means of a hot press is compressed into the desired thickness of the finished plate and the thermosetting binder is hardened. According to the invention the thermosetting binder is applied to the dried biomass particles in an airborne process, where the intense and homogeneous contact of the biomass particles and the droplets of fluent binder are facilitated by the use of ultrasound generated by the use of compressed air, water steam or another gas. Further measures to intensify the contact between the biomass particles and the binder droplets utilizing the dipole moment of the biomass particles, at the same time preventing the binder to stick to the walls of the device, as well as measures and to control moisture content and temperature of the binder-loaded particles are disclosed.

Method and device for applying a synthetic binder to an airborne flow of fibers

A method and an apparatus in form of a disinfecting apparatus comprising a steam device for combating germs on the surface of products, in particular of food products. The apparatus employs a combination of steam and ultrasound to kill germs on the surface of a product which is conveyed past the steam device. Pressurized steam is fed through a steam passage to an opening conveying the steam to a cavity, in which the steam is made to oscillate at a ultrasonic frequency. The oscillations in the steam prevent the steam from heating the products excessively, while germs presents on the surface of the products are heated and killed.
