Sand Drying with Tema Fluid Bed Dryers
Including Comparison with Rotary Dryers Introduction Sand drying is a critical process in industries such as construction, glass manufacturing, foundries, and dry mortar production. Consistent moisture content and product quality are essential. Modern plants increasingly rely on fluid bed dryers due to their efficiency and controllability, especially when compared to traditional rotary dryers. The Sand Drying Process In sand drying, raw material with variable moisture [...]
Fluidisation Process of Drying NaCl Using a TEMA Process Fluid Bed Dryer
1. Introduction In industrial salt production, wet sodium chloride (NaCl) coming from centrifuges or crystallizerscontains residual moisture. To obtain a free-flowing product, this salt is dried using a fluidized bed dryer. TEMA Process designs and manufacturescustom fluid bed dryers and coolers used in mineral, chemical, food, and salt industries. These systems ensure uniform drying, high energy efficiency, and continuous operation. 2. Principle of Fluidisation Fluidisation occurs when hot air flows upward [...]
Safer Meat: How Dehumidification Prevents Condensation in Processing Plants
In meat processing, temperature control gets a lot of attention, but humidity control is often the missing piece. When humidity rises, you start seeing the classic symptoms: condensation on cold products, water dripping from ceilings, fogging and even icing in certain zones. These moisture issues don’t just look bad; they can increase hygiene risks, disrupt production, and create an uncomfortable work environment. TEMA Process designs [...]
From Crystallization to Product Handling: Efficient Sodium Sulfate Drying and Cooling
Sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) is a common component in industrial wastewaters, particularly from flue gas desulfurization (FGD) plants. To meet increasingly strict discharge regulations, sodium sulfate is often removed by crystallization and, in many cases, recovered as a valuable product. The same separation challenge is well known in industries such as viscose fiber production. Depending on process conditions, sodium sulfate can be crystallized either as an [...]

Drying citrus pulp for pectin production
Citrus pulp is a valuable by-product from juice processing and a key raw material for pectin. To preserve pectin quality, controlled and uniform drying is essential. With a TEMA Process fluid bed dryer, citrus pulp is dried gently and efficiently, ensuring: - Uniform moisture reduction - Protection of pectin functionality - Stable processing of sticky, sugar-rich materials - Energy-efficient, continuous operation Integrated drying and cooling [...]
Energy Savings in a Tema Sand Dryer/Cooler System
Optimizing industrial drying and cooling processes can result in significant energy savings. One effective method is recirculating the exhaust air from the cooling section back to the dryer’s air inlet. - The cooler exhaust air, typically at 50–60 °C, still contains valuable thermal energy. - By reusing this air, energy savings of 10–15% can be achieved. - This reduces the need for fresh heated air and [...]
