"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.
