Industrial Dryer Research and Development

Tek-Dry Systems are at the forefront of dryer research and development, we’re always looking for a new challenge and enjoy hearing from customers looking to innovate in their industries.

Why Create New Equipment?

Customers sometimes come to us looking to produce one-off pieces of equipment. Quite often it is simply because they cannot find machinery to perform the tasks they need. Others are looking to improve their existing processes – speed, hygiene and quality are all important factors – particularly in the food industry.

Believe it or not, creating new processes and installing modern equipment can save our customers money, certainly in the long term. Developing and testing new ideas is more affordable than ever with advances in design and simulation software and creating a new piece of equipment that could potentially replace a lengthy and expensive process will save on production costs in the long run.

Improving Equipment

In an ever more competitive market, manufacturers must continually improve their equipment and processes to reduce pain points and create high-quality finished products. Tek-Dry Systems are available on a consultancy basis to help analyse your current processes and identify areas that can be strengthened.

Our capable in-house design team are able to generate new concepts and processes without the need to manufacture expensive prototypes.

Our Approach to Design

Several years ago Tek-Dry Systems moved from using traditional 2D CAD, to Solidworks 3D design and simulation software. Using Solidworks enables us to improve design and manufacturing techniques, analyse component stress and simulate airflow and thermal conditions.

This results in more efficient, higher quality equipment, without the cost premiums associated with prototype development. Using the latest software means we can simulate dryer variables and analyse the results:

  • Tek-Dry Systems Fan Flow Simulation
  • Tek-Dry Systems Fan Impeller Flow Simulation

  • Component Optimisation

  • Motion Analysis

  • Stress Visualisation

Flow Simulation

  • Airflow Analysis

  • Fan Performance Improvement

  • Increased Efficiency

Process Development

Years of experience in thermal and airflow applications have provided us with the know-how to meet your specific processing needs. We place great importance on both product and process research before a specification can be created.

Test work can be performed at our in-house test facilities, or on-site using our portable test unit. We always work closely with you to analyse your product characteristics. The resulting data is fed into our process model before being passed onto the design team for development into a complete, tailor-made solution.

Internal Dryer Research & Development

In addition to partnering with global manufacturers on development projects, we embark on internal projects to improve our existing line of products and bring innovations to the dryer industry.

It might be that a project you have in mind is something we’re already working on or have our sights on. Our engineering team are always looking for a new challenge.

Got A Project In Mind?

If you’re interested in talking to us about industrial dryer research and development, or any other aspect of our design process, please contact us to set up a meeting at your earliest opportunity.
