Versatile and Efficient Processing Technology
Artisan’s thermal separation technologies are ideal for continuous processing of challenging materials. Our equipment enables rapid heat transfer, plug flow, and extremely short residence times, making it possible to concentrate high moisture content in a single step. This eliminates the need for costly, high-maintenance filters, centrifuges, or spray dryers, and can produce free-flowing powders with little or no moisture from liquid or slurry feed products.
