Drum Dryer

Products of fluid or pasty structure with low to high viscosity and concentration either in solution, suspension or in emulsion, which have sufficient thermal conductivity and can be withstand the effect of temperature at least for a short period of time and if end product required is flake, may be handled continuously and economically with Drum Dryer or Flaker. Wet medium is applied continuously in thin layer of uniform thickness on outer surface of various methods. The liquid evaporates and dried substance is removed from cylinder with scrapper blade before one revolution. Flakes are then collected in chute.

Advance Cooling/Drying Cooling water is sprayed inside or steam is passes through johnson joint or thermic fluid is passes in zig-zag way to assure even drum temperature, maximum heat transfer and close approach of product temperature.
Base Frame And Drive Single and sturdy base frame includes all mechanism and drive to make machine compact. Drives include motor, gearbox, chain and sprocket, heavy duty bearings etc.
Optional
Hood for covering drum, outlet product chute, variable speed drive etc is provided on requirement.
