Professional spraying in industrial wood machining, especially the production of boards, is gaining in importance. This is not just because of the increasing cost of energy and raw materials, it is also because increasingly high demands for quality in the manufacture of wooden boards encourages the demand for suitable processes and possibilities, in order to apply liquids as homogeneously as possible onto prepared base materials. A frustrating factor is that these materials vary depending on the type of board, such as medium density fibreboard (MDF), hard wood fibre building board, chipboa...

Tray dryers are a common method of drying wetcakes and granulated drug products, especially in the early product development phase. The issue of containment for this type of process equipment is unique in that open scooping of powder on to multiple trays that get slotted into the dryer one at a time prohibits a mass, single transfer as with charging a vessel through a nozzle. There are many styles of tray dryers that drive the engineering control here to a custom design; however, containment is accomplished with a standard set of interface and design techniques.
