46 July 2018 Tablets & Capsules Vibratory fluid-bed dryer simultaneously dries and cools Vibro-Bed circular double-deck fluid-bed dryer uses vibration and upward airflow to separate and fluidize individual particles, maximizing drying, cooling, or mois- turizing rates. A second fluidizing deck doubles the heating/drying capacity and allows for simultaneous drying and cooling in the same unit, conserving floor space. Rigid circular design does not require heavy steel side walls or cross braces to withstand extensive vibration and accommodates smaller gyratory motors, which are less costly to purchase and operate. Fluid-bed dryer only requires one air inlet and one air outlet and has fewer weld seams than rectangular units, reduc- ing overall size and construction cost. Options include centrifugal screeners to de-agglomerate moist incoming material; spray nozzles to coat dried particles; and vibratory screeners to scalp, classify, or dedust dried material. Company offers eight models in 18- to 84-inch diameters for lab/pilot to medium-high volume production, and units are suitable for batch and continuous applications. Kason, Millburn, NJ 973 467 8140 www.kason.com Explosion isolation valve protects workspace Stinger explosion isolation valve is suitable for various applications and dust types. Cost-effective, NFPA-compliant valve is flow-acti- vated and prevents an explosion's pressure, flames, smoke, dust, and burning debris from traveling back through the dust collector's inlet pipe and into the workspace. Unit's lightweight composite blades save energy and react faster than heavier steel blades in the event of an explosion. Blades are easy to replace and feature abra- sion-resistant rubber sheeting to reduce wear.
