Conical paddle vacuum dryer for powders and granules
In industries such as pharmaceuticals and chemicals, drying heat-sensitive products while maintaining product integrity is challenging. Traditional drying methods often cause thermal degradation or uneven drying, requiring an advanced solution to ensure quality and efficiency.
Efficiently dry heat-sensitive powders and granules
The Conical Paddle Dryer (CPD) by Hosokawa Micron is a versatile batch dryer designed for vacuum, atmospheric, and pressurized processing of various materials like powders, granules, and filter cakes. The dryer features a conical-shaped vessel with a central paddle rotor, which generates vertical and axial motion, enhancing mixing and heat distribution. Its heated jacket, compatible with steam, hot oil, and water, ensures rapid heat transfer. The CPD’s vacuum capability allows low-temperature drying, ideal for heat-sensitive products. Vapors are efficiently removed via a top-mounted dust filter. Equipped with a condenser and solvent recovery tank, the CPD prevents dust contamination and enables precise moisture control. Available in batch volumes from 5 to 15,000 liters, the CPD ensures compliance with standards like FDA, cGMP, and EHEDG.
