Field of application and advantages of "Pharma-micro"

Field of application Advantages
Fine chemicals and functional materials
  • deep drying of materials
Synthetic pharmacy
  • deep drying of materials at relative low temperatures
  • effective sterilization
  • prolongation of storage time
Phytoparmacy
  • high preservation of bioactive compounds
  • high microbiological stability
Microbiological industry
  • prolongation of storage time of biomaterials
  • high biological activity of biologics, cell materials, viruses and bacteria strains
Food industry
  • high quality long-storage food (including baby foods)
  • fast food dehydration
  • simultaneous sterilization
Agriculture
  • effective drying and decontamination of grain
  • significant increasing of germinating capacity

"Pharma-Micro" provides high level of drying and sterilization at relatively low temperatures avoiding conventional drying problems:

  • change of composition and structure of materials
  • undesired sintering, agglomeration and induration
  • contamination of the products with combustion products of gas or oil

Effective application of microwave irradiation in "Pharma-Micro" allows high productivity and energetic efficiency of the technological process, decreasing a prime cost of the product.
The new microwave drying technology has several significant advantages in comparison with convenient thermal drying:

  • decreasing of power consumption in 5 – 100 times
  • decreasing of process time in 2 – 30 times
  • possibility of fast and effective drying of thermolabile materials
  • unique depth of drying
  • simultaneous low temperature sterilization

Several "Pharma-Micro" units were installed on Ukrainian industrial enterprises.
