AndTech to Hold Online Seminar on Powder Technology and Drying Processes on May 26th (Tue)

AndTech Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Masao Suyama, hereinafter referred to as AndTech) will be holding a "Powder Technology and Drying Process" seminar as part of its Zoom lecture series for R&D development support. This seminar aims to address the growing need for solutions to challenges in powder technology and drying processes.

Learn how to visualize powder movement using the "Transparent Powder Behavior Skeleton Model®", understand the meaning of calculation formulas and identify priority parameters for effective scale-up through simple examples, and discover methods to achieve results efficiently by clarifying the relationship between "appropriate unit operation selection and product physical properties" that meet the functional requirements of the final product!

This seminar is scheduled to commence on May 26, 2026.

Knowledge to be Gained and Technical Issues to be Solved in this Seminar

───────────────────────

- Overview of technologies for handling powders/granules.

- The unique behavior of powders/granules as "discrete bodies," differing from "continuous bodies" like gases and liquids.

- Overview of "troubles" that arise due to the nature of powders/granules, and their respective countermeasures.

- Understanding the concept of "rate-limiting step" in drying technology scale-up and correctly performing "scale-up."

- Scale-up is not about "making the equipment larger," but about "increasing the scale of the phenomenon."

- Understanding what sensors and values should be measured to comprehend the "phenomenon."

- What topics were discussed at "POWTECH Nuremberg" in Germany in September 2025?
