Bachelor's Degree Development and Optimization of Drying Models (m/f/d)

You are going to do things – with aspiration, courage and goal? We too! This makes us a problem solver No. 1 when it comes to more intelligent labelling in dynamic markets. For this we combine paper and film processing, printing technology and mechanical engineering under one roof – for high-tech adhesives, labels and labeling machines. In the HERMA team there are real opportunities for you. Bachelorand (m/w/d) Development and Optimization of Drying Models Location: Filderstadt | Division: Detention Meterial As part of this final work, an existing Excel-VBA-based drying model for an industrial dryer is analyzed and developed. The aim is to image the real drying behavior of dispersion adhesives as precisely as possible. For this purpose, relevant substance parameters, such as sorption and diffusion properties, are determined experimentally and integrated into the model. The calibration and validation are then carried out using real process and measurement data. The results are intended to help improve the prediction of the product moisture and to identify optimization potentials in the drying process.

Introduction to the basics of drying technology and modelling of drying processes Analysis of the existing VBA-based simulation environment Evaluation of existing measurement data of the dryer Planning and implementation of experiments to determine sorption and diffusion parameters Integration of experimental results into the model Adaptation and calibration of model parameters Comparison of simulation and real process data Experimental determination of the residual moisture of the product Assessment of model quality and identification of potential for improvement
