Laboratory MCU Hybrid Dryer (Microwave-Convection-Ultrasonic)

Description

The dryer enables research on a laboratory scale for the drying processes of materials using air at a specified temperature, with the option of supporting the drying process with microwaves and ultrasonics. Drying occurs in a rotating drum. The dryer is equipped with a 200W Pulsonics ultrasonic transducer allowing the transmission of ultrasonics through the air directly into the layer of dried material.
