- Minerals, fertiliser, mineralogical chemistry (e.g. potassium, magnesium by-products)
- Food, pharmacy, fine chemicals (e.g. starch, casein)
- Metals
Benefits
- Very short retention time,
- Ideal for heat sensitive products,
- Instant drying of the material,
- Elimination of humidity in a few seconds,
- No alteration to the material,
