Vrieco-Nauta Conical Vacuum Dryer

Description

Heat energy is basically transferred into the product through a jacketed vessel wall causing solvents or moisture residues to evaporate. A rotating screw orbits along the vessel wall and helps the vapours to escape to the surface, at the same time providing a frequent exchange of particles in contact with the heated surface.

A Vacuum system keeps the vessel under constant vacuum and removes vapours from the vessel. Entrained dust particles are separated in a filter mounted above the dryer.

Features / Benefits

• Fast drying times as the mixing screw continuously circulates the product from the bottom to the top of the vessel improving heat transfer conditions.

• Final moisture after drying is possible down to 0%.

• Low energy consumption.

• Gentle to product.

• Quick and efficient removal of vapours.

• Recovery of pure solvents is possible.

• Dried solids are suitable for direct use.

• Easy to clean.
