Multi-Purpose-Multi-Effect-Dryer
MUPMED uses additive manufacturing to create parts for a multi effect vaporisation dryer with best-in-class eco-footprint. To achieve this, the team faces a few challenges.
Their main goal in one sentence: Develop FDM printed machine parts that can function 24/7 @ 80-90°C, 90-100% Rel. Humidity and withstand abrasive load of tumbling matter
The steps on this way are
- Identify suitable FDM materials that meet technical demands and fit in business case limitations of drying organic matter affordably using residual heat.
- Validate that parts meet the durability demands using dedicated endurance test-set ups and full prototypes.
