HORIZONTAL DRYERS


Termomix® Pressure/Vacuum Horizontal Dryer

 
 

The TERMOMIX® Horizontal Paddle Dryer can be used in vacuum as well as in pressure applications and was developed for use in heavy industrial processes. The Paddle Dryer is applied as mixer, reactor and Dryer, where process steps under vacuum / pressure and with heating / cooling may be performed in succession or simultaneously. The TERMOMIX® is a versatile and very strong machine designed for the highest requirements in functionality,reliability and longevity.

The machines meet the following requirements:
  Highly efficient agitator system with good and even mixing action throughout the Dryer volume avoiding preferential flow     patterns and dead areas.
  High heat transfer rate.
  Discharge of the dried product by the agitator.
  Safe processing of hazardous products without endangering operating personnel or the environment.

 
 
The important features of the TERMOMIX® are:
Cylindrical, horizontal pressure vessel, with bolted or welded dished covers.
All surfaces in contact with the product such as the vessel, covers, agitator and Vapor Filter are heated, providing very efficient heat exchange.
 
The agitator is supported on both sides of the vessel.
The agitator is designed to meet the requirements of this particular Dryer type to
  assure good and even mixing action throughout the Dryer volume, also in reverse
  operation, to provide good discharging characteristics and at the same time reduce
  friction on the product to a minimum to prevent local overheating as well as to
  prevent directional thrust or local product compression.
Speed adjustable using frequency converters with electric drives or control valves  
  with hydraulic drives.
Sealing of the agitator shaft with double mechanical seals or stuffing boxes.
Mechanical seals: The mechanical seals are installed on the covers, dry or wet
  running mechanical seals may be installed.
  Advantages of the mechanical seals:
    Better final vacuum.
    No hazardous leakage or emissions.
    No product contamination.
    Possibility of sterile operation.
    Failure detection system for mechanicalseal.
    Stuffing boxes with multiple lip seals for undemanding applications.
    Solids discharge valve, plug or ball type, pneumatically operated.
    CIP and / or steam sterilization available.
    Vapor Filter, equipped with automatic Filter back-cleaning system.
    Sample valve.
   Optional choppers.
   Machine controls manual, or with PLC, PC and DCS.
    Electric pre-wiring of machine.
    Design and manufacturing to the requirements of international     organizations such as  ASME, TÜV, etc.
        Environmentally sound and safe to operate.
