Thermal Product Solutions (TPS), a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, announced the shipment of two Gruenberg Granulation Dryers. The granulation dryers were designed to meet the customer’s requirements for their pharmaceutical application. The pharmaceutical ovens were designed with the capacity to dry 70 kg of water from 348 kg of product. The product is placed on trays that are loaded into the dryer on two trucks per dryer, one wide and two deep. The Gruenberg granulation dryers have work chamber dimensions of 39” W x 102” D x 72” L. and a maximum temperature rating of 180⁰ F. The customer

Thermal Product Solutions (TPS), a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, announced the shipment of a Gruenberg Class “A” Pharmaceutical Dryer. This custom safety oven is designed to meet the customer’s specifications for an emerging pharmaceutical manufacturing technology. To increase the customer’s current production rate, the unit automated the batch process which included automated load and unload tables for the product. By provided the complex automation in addition to the pharmaceutical dryer, TPS was able to provide a complete solution for the customer. This Gruenberg pharmaceutical dryer has work chamber dimensions of 60” W x 72” H x 76 L. The

Thermal Product Solutions (TPS), a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, announced the shipment of a Gruenberg Vivarium Pass-Thru SteriDry™ Cabinet Sterilizer to be used in a university research facility. The dry heat sterilizer will be used for sterilizing animal cages, empty water bottles and other material. A single door of double wall construction is at both the load end and unload end of the vivarium sterilizer. This pass-thru design ensures ease of loading and unloading, improving the overall workflow of the research facility’s sterilization process. The university’s laboratory setting had limited floor space for the sterilizer. The dry heat sterilizer’s

Thermal Product Solutions, a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, announced the shipment of a custom industrial oven for curing epoxy on medical devices. The conveyor oven is designed with 2 (two) independent conveyors which utilize a light sensor at the end of them to detect the products. Safety was a huge concern for the customer so 80/20 guarding was designed and placed around all safety hazards. The guarding made the unit safer without the added cost of having a third party design and install the guarding. The Gruenberg dual lane conveyor oven has a maximum temperature rating of 232°C (450°F)

TPS, a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, has designed a new, custom industrial oven that cures a thin coating onto glass vials used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce a specialized, low-friction surface. The four-module, 400 °C oven contains three heating chambers and one for cooling. The clean room conveyor oven processes 120 vials-per-minute as they advance in trays along a conveyor belt of more than 30 feet. The cooling zone allows the product to exit the oven at a temperature of 80 °C or less. To ensure uniform heat distribution and optimize efficiency, a high-volume, 1750-cfm, vertical-down, air-circulation system

A manufacturer of power-generation equipment asked Thermal Product Solutions to design a custom industrial oven that would remove moisture from exhaust filters used in diesel truck engines after the filters have undergone an environmentally friendly cleaning process to remove particulate matter. The insulated, stainless-steel and cordierite-ceramic filters are dipped in a liquid-acid cleaning solution to remove the particulates before being placed in the oven for drying at 1200 °F. The new, custom-industrial Gruenberg Truck-In Oven features a high-volume, 18,000-cfm, compound, horizontal-air-circulation system and offers 144 cubic feet of internal workspace. It accommodates two, three-tiered, stainless-steel hand trucks, each carrying 12

TPS, a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, has designed a custom industrial oven that serves as a granulation dryer for a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer for use in curing a solution that becomes a dry-dosage drug. The high-capacity oven is capable of handling eight rolling trucks filled with trays of product solution simultaneously and accommodates a total batch load of 4.72 tons. The pharmaceutical manufacturer purchased two of the 77” wide, by 84” high by 173” deep custom Gruenberg ovens, which feature modular construction in six sections to facilitate easy transport and set up. Thermal Product Solutions designs and manufactures industrial

When a leading manufacturer of pharmaceuticals approached Thermal Product Solutions with a request to design an industrial oven that would uniformly remove excess moisture from prescription medications being produced using a 3D-printing process, Gruenberg engineers developed a custom solution that includes a robotic gantry, heat-saving windows, and internal actuators and sensors that precisely positions and dries trays of 3D-printed pills to exact specifications. To ensure the quality and uniformity of each pill, this new conveyor oven precisely times, loads, arranges, positions, heats, monitors, and removes trays of pharmaceuticals, drying them to specific standards. The oven has thin window slits, rather
