Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryer

Operation:

• Slurry/wet cake is charged through the charging door while keeping rotation of the agitator on.
• Vacuum is then applied to the dryer along with dust catcher (mounted on the dryer) condenser and receiver.
• Heating medium is passed through the jacket and agitator. Vigorous evaporation of moisture take place under vacuum. The vapor passes through the bag filters of the dust catcher, goes into the condenser and the condensate is collected in the receiver.
• Evaporation under high vacuum and low temperature results in faster recovery of maximum solvents.
• Adequate provision has been provided to cater for fluctuations in steam pressure / temperature, in condenser cooling water temperature, moisture content of feed etc.
• Dry product is discharged via the discharge valve by the reversing the agitator rotational direction to "discharge" direction.

Salient Features:

• Ideal for temperature sensitive materials.
• Almost 100 per cent recovery of solvents.
• Low energy consumption.
