Abstracts: The problem is based on the AVDHOOT PIGMENT PVT LTD. situated in Ankleswar, GIDC. The industry main product is Copper phthalocyanine Green 7 prepared by chlorination of Copper phthalocyanine blue. The major engineering problem encountered in the industry is that more drying time required for drying of Green 7. In the present scenario the industry uses three conventional .Tray dryer which requires 44 hours to dry the product CPC Green 7. The industry cycle time is 168 hours out of which 44 hours is completely required for drying of CPC Green 7. The problem can be overcome by designing a drier which decreases the drying time required for Green 7. If the drying time gets decreases, hence the cycle time or batch time get decreases as a result of decrease in cycle time more number of batches can be produced per month/year, due to this there is overall increase in production of CPC Green 7.
