HEINKEL is showcasing its full expertise in solid-liquid separation at this year’s ACHEMA. The industry specialist will be presenting select product highlights as well as the inerting system HEINKELCentripurge, unique in the industry, for highest requirements up to SIL 3 at ACHEMA at stand B8 in Hall 5.0.

The manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates require reliable and gentle treatment during solid-liquid separation with succeeding drying of the wet cake. Highly efficient contact vacuum dryers ensure effective drying performance and high operational reliability with low product degradation due to thermal and mechanical influences.

Drying of fragile and sensitive solid products in the pharmaceutical, fine-chemical or food processing industry demands a protecting and gentle drying process. At the end only this will guarantee a reliable unfailing and reproducible quality of the finally dry product. In this respect ordinary common contact dryers soon are stretched to their limits. For this reason the conical screw dryer has well proven itself for drying applications with demanding products.

The HEINKEL Drying and Separation Group has opened a new office and assembly hall in Foshan near Guangzhou, thereby strengthening its presence and competitiveness in the Asian market.

Head and owner of HEINKEL Drying and Separation Group and Stibbe Management, Philip Stibbe, explains the vision of the group in this interview.
