Dryers
Introduction to the use of dryers in API manufacturing, with a focus on Tray Dryers and the critical parameters involved in their operation. It covers the purpose of drying, the structure and function of fixed bed dryers, and key factors such as temperature, humidity, airflow rate, and load size. The module explains how these parameters influence product quality and safety. Additionally, learners will explore the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required when working with dryers to support operator safety and product integrity.
Whether for onboarding or annual refresher training, this Module is seamlessly deployable on any LMS and can be tailored to your company’s exact needs.
Duration: 30 Mins
Grade: Core Library
