    Product Information

    CHEMFAB® Release Solutions for Drying/Freeze Drying Food & Pharma Products

    Today, drying processes are widely used in food product processing due to the efficiency in handling large volumes and because the gentle drying process helps to retain the vivid colour, shape, intense flavor and nutritional value of the original raw food materials. Additionally, the Healthcare industry uses dry freezing in preserving the quality of various pharmaceutical and biotechnological and surgical products making worldwide transportation of health care possible.

    CHEMFAB release solutions are used as processing aids for vacuum drying and freeze drying or lyophilization applications of both food and pharma products which are both subject to strict hygiene regulations. The dryer belts are food compliant, easy to clean and offer excellent non-stick properties even in this severe humid environment with freezing temperatures. These  non -stick easy release dryer belts avoid sticking from dried products, are easy-to-clean and because of their closed surface the risk of any cross-contamination is minimized.

    Process Information

    CHEMFAB® Release Solutions for Drying/Freeze Drying Food & Pharma Products

    CHEMFAB process and conveyor belts for drying and freeze drying foods and pharma products
    Zoom Diagram

     

    Used as release solutions, CHEMFAB dryer belts convey the heavy loads of various foods or pharma products through the reduced pressure environment in a cascading formation. These dryer belts are mechanically stable as they carry the heavy load through the vacuum and have excellent heat transfer even from different heat sources -- conduction, radiation or microwaves and can withstand freezing temperatures and high moisture levels.

    The non-stick and smooth PTFE surface guarantees that the food or pharma ingredients is easily released at each stage of the process, and because of the closed surface migration of any materials is  minimized, reducing the risk of any cross-contamination.
