In Brazil, black pepper is grown on small family farms and dried directly in the sun by the growers. Sun drying effectively prevents contamination by combustion products from flue gases (PAH, anthraquinones), but since sun drying takes place in the open air, there is a risk of salmonella contamination. Also in view of the salmonella risk, sun drying is the method of choice, as the microbiological load can be efficiently reduced by sterilisation. The risk of salmonella contamination of black […]

Soybean meal is an ideal protein supplement for all types of cattle feed.
TEMA Process B.V. is a specialised design and manufacturing company for Fluid Bed Systems for drying of minerals, chemicals, food, feed, biomass, etc. The TEMA Fluid Bed can be applied not only for drying, but also for cooling, roasting, torrefaction, puffing, blanching, stripping , spices and herbs sterilisation and pasteurisation and calcining.
 

For products that need long resident times (mainly in the food industry), TEMA PROCESS has designed a sub-fluid bed dryer. The layer thickness of the product with normal continuous fluid bed drying is about 10 – 15 cm. If the layer thickness is increased, the spread of product residence time is increased excessively due to axial mixing of the product during the drying process. With sub-fluid bed drying it is possible to run with thicker layers, up to 60 cm. […]

Sea salt is produced by the evaporation of seawater. Sea salts tend to be coarser and grainier than traditional granulated table salt but both types of salt have the same basic nutritional value.
At the wash house, the salt is dropped into a saturated brine solution to wash off any impurities. Because saturated brine is already carrying as much salt as it can hold, very little salt dissolves in the wash.
The process for harvesting sea salt today is really the same […]

Slag is a by-product of smelting (pyrometallurgical) ores and used metals. The meaning of slag sand is slag crushed into fine particles and is used especially in mortar or concrete. Slag sand is a good alternative to river sand, say experts. The uses of industrial waste as a substitute material helps save a large share of natural resources and protect the environment. Slag sand is used in the manufacture of high-performance concretes, especially those used in the construction of bridges […]

LiOH and Na2SO4 dryers ready for transport ! Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) enables the production of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). Spodumene is a mineral consisting of lithium aluminium inosilicate, LiAl(SiO3)2, and is a source of lithium. In the production process  lithium hydroxide and sodium sulphate is produced. After separating the solid and liquid by a centrifugal machine the lithium hydroxide (LiOH ) is dried on a Tema Process Fluid bed dryer. Also the sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) is dried on a […]

Spices are valued for their distinct flavour, aroma and colour but they are exposed to wide range of microbial contamination. After spices are harvested from plants, they’re often laid on the ground to dry, salmonella comes from birds and other animals, so the contamination is getting into the spices somewhere in picking, drying, processing or storage.
-Microbial Safety in Spices, a top Priority-
Tema Black & White Pepper Sterilizer refers to the elimination of microbial life, like reducing bacteria and pathogens. The […]

Tema Process Condenser Scrubbers are designed to condense, absorb, cool and scrub large volume of exhaust gases. These scrubbers are used in the Tema Process closed loop drying system.
The Closed Loop Dryers are designed as a closed system in which heated air used to dry the materials is continuously recycled within the drying compartment of the dryer without being discharged to the atmosphere, thus increasing the efficiency of the system while preventing the discharge of contaminated vapors to the atmosphere.

The packed tower scrubbers are used to remove particulate and / or vapor contaminants from an exhaust gas stream by way of dilution or absorption.
A packed tower is an efficient method of carrying out mass transfer between gas and liquid phases. Packed tower scrubbers incorporate packing media
to facilitate intimate contact between a scrubbing liquid and gas to be scrubbed.
Applications are: reduction of dust or gaseous emission levels, product recovery, air pollution and odor control.
In countercurrent scrubber operation, the gas flows […]

With an investment of 30 million euros, the Life for Tyres plant in Puertollano (Ciudad Real) plans to recycle some 27,000 tons per year, 9% of the tires used annually in Spain.
Carbon black is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products. Traditionally Carbon Black (CB) has been used as both a reinforcing agent and filler in automobile tires. Along with better understanding of CB’s unique properties as a material, it is presently used in a much […]
