CERAM Technology is dedicated to easing the implementation of new technology for clients in the ceramics and other materials - based industries. Providing the critical interface between research and development and full-scale production, CERAM Technology undertakes industrial liaison, plant trials and consultancy activities for all stages of enabling technology.

Energy efficiency in process operations is increasingly important to manufacturers in terms of both their competitiveness and their environmental conservation commitments. Substantial benefits can be obtained in ceramic processing if a conventional dryer is replaced by an airless dryer.
Key Properties

The energy demands of a conventional dryer are a result of the energy required to evaporate the moisture from the product and the heating of the air flowing through the dryer and eventually to atmosphere.

Airless drying is a novel patented drying system which re-circulates the heated dryer atmosphere and eliminates energy losses to the flue whilst generating a high humidity atmosphere allowing raised heating cycles without causing damage to the product.
