High-Performance Air Tray Dryers For Nigeria’s Industrial Applications

Introduction to Air Tray Dryers in Nigeria

Controlled drying is a critical stage in industries where product quality, stability, and hygiene are paramount. Across Nigerian industrial hubs—from pharmaceutical centers in Lagos and Abuja to food processing units in Ibadan and Port Harcourt, as well as chemical and textile plants in Kano and Onitsha—efficient drying equipment is essential for consistent output.

Technogen Enterprise, headquartered in Ahmedabad, India, is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of high-quality Air Tray Dryers. Built with cGMP compliance, robust construction, and advanced design, these dryers deliver uniform drying, energy efficiency, and reliability across pharmaceutical, food, chemical, textile, and research sectors.

Working Principle of Air Tray Dryer

Air Tray Dryers operate on convective heat transfer, where hot air is circulated uniformly within the drying chamber by high-performance fans. Materials placed on stainless steel trays lose moisture through controlled evaporation.

Key Features of the Drying Process:

• Uniform Circulation: Ensures no part of the product is over-dried or under-dried.

• Temperature Control: Digital thermostat maintains precise ranges from ambient to 300°C.

• Moisture Evacuation: Exhausts moisture-laden air while introducing fresh hot air for efficient drying cycles.

This ensures consistent quality without compromising color, texture, or active ingredients, which is crucial for pharmaceuticals, food, and chemical industries.

Design & Construction

Technogen Air Tray Dryers are engineered for durability, safety, and energy efficiency:

• Material of Construction (MOC): SS 304, SS 316, or SS 316L for pharma-grade applications

• Insulation: Rockwool or glass wool for minimal heat loss

• Doors & Sealing: Leak-proof gaskets for high-temperature operation

• Air Circulation: Axial or blower fans distribute hot air evenly across trays

• Heating Options: Electric or steam-based heaters

• Mobility: Castor wheels with brakes for easy movement

• Safety Features: Heater interlocked with blower motor to prevent overheating

This robust construction ensures long service life, minimal maintenance, and safe operations.

Salient Features

• Uniform hot air distribution for consistent drying

• Cylindrical heating chamber design for higher efficiency

• Digital temperature controller with timer for precise control

• Compact, portable, and energy-efficient design

• Easy dismantling and cleaning for hygiene compliance

• Suitable for multiple tray capacities – lab-scale to industrial-scale

• Optional flame-proof electricals for hazardous environments

How to Use an Air Tray Dryer

1. Preheat the Dryer: Set the desired temperature using the digital thermostat.

2. Load Trays: Spread materials evenly for uniform drying.

3. Set Timer & Controls: Adjust drying cycle as per product requirements.

4. Monitor Process: Check temperature and moisture levels periodically.

5. Unload Safely: Allow trays to cool before removing.

6. Clean After Use: Sanitize trays to maintain hygiene and compliance.
