DRI maintains IAQ at

Beijing Daxing International Airport, China is Beijing’s second international airport and scheduled to be operational in 2019. DRI has supplied 32 units of Ecofresh Energy Recovery Wheels for the project to maintain the IAQ requirements.

Museum of The Future, Dubai, UAE, the iconic art institution is a unique ‘incubator for for futuristic innovations and designs’. It is set to open in 2019 in Dubai where DRI is providing innovative air solutions through its Ecofresh Heat Recovery Wheels.

Quality air is critical for the pharmaceutical industry

and specifically, so, because it involves human well-being.

Safety is of paramount and with the increasing awareness and know how on medical advancement and technology, the customers today are very demanding and want the best of healthcare facilities available to them.

To support the fast-changing growth and needs of pharmaceutical manufacturers and exporters, Pahwa Group is constantly striving and delivering to cater to the most complex quality air needs of the pharmaceutical industry.

Bry-Air your moisture removal partner…

Humidity control or dehumidification is applied in processing, manufacturing, storage, research and testing areas of the pharmaceutical industry.

Dehumidification prevents:

Disintegration of tablets
Brittleness
Short shelf life
Discolouration
Unevent tablet coating

Bry-Air – Drying | Conveying | Blending

Plastics, the most suitable material for making the medical devices, uses a wide range of resins. Improper drying of resins can cause defects in the product like:

Low tensile strength
Impact resistance
Surface cracking
Internal cracking
Bubbles
Rejection
Surface lines
Silver streaking

A wide range of Compressed Air Dryer to remove moisture from compressed air Moisture in compressed air leads to:

Malfunctioning of pneumatic tools, valves and machines
Change in colour, odour and taste of pharmaceutical products
Corrosion in storage vessel, distribution system and components
Microbiological contamination
Increase in downtime and maintenance cost

DRI provides IAQ solutions with energy saving

The softgel capsules are widely used in pharmaceutical industry, including nutraceuticals, vitamins, and mineral supplements. These are known for their greater stability, ability to mask unpleasant odour and taste.

Softgel manufacturing process
Encapsulation –> Drying –> Packaging

During manufacturing of soft gelatin capsules, the warm liquid gelatin is spread over a slowly revolving, stainless-steel drum. A supply of chilled dry air congeals the gelatin as the drum rotates so that a tacky, elastic band rolls off the other end.

This thin band is automatically formed into capsules, filled with medicine. When the temperature and humidity are too high, gelatin will start softening and prevent solidification. From the capsulating machines the soft, moist capsules are transferred to drying drums or chambers for rapid drying. The moisture has to be removed gradually, to prevent superficial surface hardening. Drying at elevated temperature will impair dried product quality.

High temperature drying cause following problems:

Softens the gelatin and prevents solidification
Uneven drying
Brittleness

The Bry-Air Solution

During encapsulation and packaging, the temperature and humidity to be maintained at 23°C and 30±5% respectively but drying is done at 20°C and 15±5%. The drying of soft gel capsule is tricky, as it has to be dried in very controlled environment.
