Secomak currently have a Knowledge Transfer Partnership set up with the ‘Aerospace, Automotive & Design Engineering’ (AADE) Department at the University of Hertfordshire (UH).
This has led to the development of a Secomak Drying Centre being formed at the University of Hertfordshire (UH), which will over the duration of the partnership help both organisations to research innovative advances in drying processes. In time this could lead to significant breaththroughs in the industry.
Industrial
drying technology is an area which demands an innovative approach to
produce solutions, which can satisfy customers’ demands. The problems
can not be solved relevantly by anything less than a dynamic
partnership between scientists, technologists and manufacturers.
In
the process of this Knowledge Transfer Partnership, Secomak and the
University of Hertfordshire (UH) are trying to achieve solutions and
answers to the following problems faced in these questions:
- How can low energy methods be incorporated into the drying process?
- How can low noise techniques be applied to high speed flow impact?
- How can total moisture removal be achieved on fast moving containers?
- How can condensation on cold surfaces be stopped?
- How can bacteria spread by air-born moisture droplets be removed?
If
you would like to be involved in any aspect of this work or would like
to contribute your views on drying processes and problems, please

(UH) via the KTP Blog.
