COMPANY OVERVIEW

• Flexibility of contract structure,

from small scale engineering

design to full “turnkey”

packages

• Complete installation and

commissioning service.

• After sales service from the UK

CAPABILITIES

• Design, consultation and feasibility study.

• Research & Development facilities at the Head Office

• Independently validated by::-

CAPABILITIES

• Unlike conventional dryers that use heated air as the drying medium, the R-O2

drying process developed by CDS, uses dry superheated steam at

atmospheric pressure.

• The process can be adapted for all production rates, with large scale plant

capacities being possible as no maximum “scale up” barriers have been

identified.

R-02 DRYING PRINCIPLE

• Save up to 50% of drying energy cost.

• Reduced drying times in all production process.

• Higher heat carrying capacity of ‘dry’ superheated steam used to dry the product.

• Lower viscosity enables deeper and faster permeation of the heat into dense products

• Batch or continuous drying process

• Uniform & accurate temperature / humidity & airflow control on all processes.

• Sterile environments.

• Extremely efficient thermal systems.

• Incredibly low maintenance.
