Paddle Dryer

Rotary vacuum paddle Dryer or Paddle Dryer is used to obtain dry Powder from wet cake or solutions. The efficiency is very high and the operating costs are low compared to other types of dryers. It is a closed system in which hot water ,steam, or hot fluid is used as a heating medium in the jacket, in the hollow paddle and in the hallow shaft. Dust collector, condenser, receiver and vacuum pump are part of the system. The continuous agitation by means of heated rotating paddles and minimum clearance between scrapers and heated walls provide a good heat transfer to the wet feed. This results in the solventmoisture evaporating off and renders the wet material dry, to the required degree. The vapors formed are removed by means of vacuum. Absence of large air flows virtually eliminates dust problems and also the energy consumption remains low. Some of the salient features of a Rotary vacuum paddle Dryer made by us are described below
