Granulation Dryers & Pharmaceutical Tray Dryers

Gruenberg Granulation Dryer

Product details

Gruenberg designs and manufactures granulation drying equipment, ideal for pharmaceutical tray drying, that is built with a welded structural steel frame for longterm reliability. All interior surfaces are constructed of 100% continuously welded stainless steel for quick and easy washdowns. Steam, hot water, or electrically-heated granulation dryers are rated up to 90°C. Gruenberg's granulation drying equipment is available with two standard types of circulation systems: controlled recirculation and single-pass systems.
