The present invention includes a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying system. The disposable has a spray drying head and a plasma drying chamber. The head has a spray dry nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the plasma source and the pressurized aerosol gas source. The pressurized gas flows in a vortex pattern that atomizes plasma droplets in the chamber. The head also includes a plenum has uniform air pressure of the drying gas. A baffle plate forms the floor of the plenum having drying gas jets that supply drying gas to the chamber. The atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the presence of the drying gas emitted to from the jets to obtain dried plasma particles and humid air. A capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows the humid air to pass. The humid air passes through the gas outlet and the exhaust port.

An energy treatment apparatus for a fabric web includes a tenter mechanism that includes a pair of opposing tracks through which a drive chain traverses. The tracks each have an inwardly-facing slot through which a plurality of web gripping elements project to hold an edge of the fabric web. At least one energy applying module has an enclosure with an opening therethrough and at least one energy applying element disposed on either side of the fabric web as the fabric web traverses the energy applying module. Each energy applying module is adapted to be stacked. An exhaust module is fixed at a top of each stack to convey hot exhaust away from the stack. In embodiments having two or more of the stacks, a web direction reversal apparatus is fixed between each stack such that the fabric web exiting one of the stacks is redirected into a next stack.

The present invention relates to a transportable, containerized, modular and expandable blood facility, namely a blood collection, blood processing and/or spray drying facility. The inventive self-contained portable plasma facility can be transported anywhere in the world and set up to provide a life-saving plasma product. The facility and associated spray drying equipment can be transported by helicopter, plane, truck, train or ship. Once set up, the facility can make spray dried plasma on demand, stored in various temperatures and can be ready for transfusion in just minutes after hydration. The inventive blood processing facility for housing a spray drying system includes the spray drying disposable device and, spray drying apparatus, and/or finishing apparatus. The facility further includes an electrical package, a Clean Dry Air (CDA) package to provide clean dry air to the facility, and an exhaust package to remove humid air generated by the spray drying apparatus.

A dry space creation apparatus includes a processing tank, expansion members, an ejection unit, a dry gas supplier, and a controller. The processing tank has an internal space. The expansion members are provided in the processing tank and expand while leaving part of the internal space. The ejection unit ejects gas in the internal space out of the processing tank. The dry gas supplier supplies dry gas to the internal space. The controller performs first control to allow the ejection unit to eject the gas in the internal space out of the processing tank with the expansion members expanding, and then performs second control to allow the dry gas supplier to supply the dry gas to the internal space with the expansion members contracting.
