In a unique application, the evaporation of an extremely volatile solvent from a granular solid was necessary after the coating process to create the final product. To add to the complexity of design, the process requirements had to take place in an enclosed space away from operators, creating the need for a unit that would not need direct supervision or require maintenance often. Due to the extremely high tendency for explosion, many scenarios needed to be audited and taken into account in the design on the evaporator. Any pinching, sparking, or slamming would be cause for an event and create an extremely dangerous situation for the employees. - GK created an evaporating feeder using heated water, eliminating processes that would cause sparks with special weldments and springs.
