This invention was designed to condense, separate and collect volatile compounds from the vapor steam as they exit the dehydrator. Bulk condensate is allowed to accumulate and separate in a separator vessel under vacuum. The undesirable water phase condensate is periodically drained into a water vessel, which is also held under vacuum instead of atmospheric pressure to avoid agitation and mixing of the contents of the separator vessel arising from purging the separator vessel to atmosphere. The separated and desirable oily condensates can then be easily recovered from the separator vessel.

An apparatus for the off-line drying treatment, or dry out, of an inductor for billets that includes a coil and a protection body made of refractory material that defines a transit channel for the billets.

Method and installation for making sand cores. The method includes a generating step which is implemented in a first station of the installation, in which the cores are generated with the desired shape in an inner space demarcated by a job box by means of 3D manufacturing, in which layers of a granular material and of an additive that solidifies the granular material are applied in an alternating manner on a platform of the job box. The method also includes a subsequent hardening step which is implemented in a second station of the installation, in which the cores generated in the generating step are hardened. In the hardening step, in order to harden the previously generated cores microwaves and a drying stream are applied in the inner space of the job box.

Methods and apparatuses for drying, especially cannabis, are provided. One of the provided methods includes: heating the cannabis in a cavity of a variable frequency microwave oven using at least two different frequencies; measuring temperature of at least 1 cm square of the cannabis at different times during the heating; and controlling the heating based on the temperature measured so that the cannabis is kept for at least 20 minutes at temperatures above 30° C. and below 100° C.

A rotating magnet heater for metal products, such as aluminum strip, can include permanent magnet rotors arranged above and below a moving metal strip to induce moving or time varying magnetic fields through the metal strip. The changing magnetic fields can create currents (e.g., eddy currents) within the metal strip, thus heating the metal strip. A magnetic rotor set can include a pair of matched magnetic rotors on opposite sides of a metal strip that rotate at the same speed. Each magnetic rotor of a set can be positioned equidistance from the metal strip to avoid pulling the metal strip away from the passline. A downstream magnetic rotor set can be used in close proximity to an upstream magnetic rotor set to offset tension induced by the upstream magnetic rotor set.
