6. R-02 DRYING PRINCIPLE
• Unlike conventional dryers that use heated air as the drying medium, the R-O2
drying process developed by CDS, uses dry superheated steam at
atmospheric pressure.
• The process can be adapted for all production rates, with large scale plant
capacities being possible as no maximum “scale up” barriers have been
identified.

7. R-02 DRYING TECHNOLOGY
• Save up to 50% of drying energy cost.
• Reduced drying times in all production process.
• Higher heat carrying capacity of ‘dry’ superheated steam
used to dry the product.
• Lower viscosity enables deeper and faster permeation of
the heat into dense products
• Batch or continuous drying process
• Uniform & accurate temperature / humidity & airflow
control on all processes.
• Sterile environments.
• Extremely efficient thermal systems.
• Incredibly low maintenance.
