One of the world’s leading generics and specialty pharmaceuticals companies chooses Thermal Product Solutions to create an industrial granulation drying oven especially for making its cutting edge medications. Like every Gruenberg oven we create this one provides a wide range of temperature conditions with a highly efficient airflow management system that provides maximum temperature uniformity and exhausts moisture given off the product outside of the oven. But since it is a completely custom solution, it is also designed to do things a bit differently.
This specially designed oven is built to NFPA 86 Class A Safety Requirements with a Solvent Venting System and an intrinsically safe interior. Safety features include an Ultima Gas Monitor System with a separate panel mounted Solvent LEL Monitor, and a Fike Fire Suppression System with high rate discharge tanks strategically placed around the oven.
Conditioning systems include two pneumatically controlled steam heating coils and a pneumatically controlled chilled water intake air cooling coil. Steam and chilled water are supplied to the oven by the customer. A horizontal airflow system is employed using two circulation blowers to generate airflow. Semi-pierced duct walls are installed with adjustable openings that permit the fine-tuning of airflow through the workspace to achieve maximum temperature uniformity. HEPA filtration is installed in the air intake, recirculation, and exhaust systems.
