Conical paddle vacuum dryer for powders and granules
Achieve efficient drying of sensitive materials with this versatile vacuum dryer, designed to handle everything from loose powders to viscous liquids while maintaining product integrity and optimizing energy use.
Mixes, Dries, and Reacts Materials Efficiently
The Conical Paddle Dryer (CPD) from Hosokawa Micron delivers efficient, multi-purpose batch processing for diverse industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food. This vacuum dryer specializes in mixing, drying, and reaction processes with a central paddle rotor that ensures continuous material movement and rapid drying rates. It effectively manages heat-sensitive materials by using a heated jacket to transfer thermal energy, ideal for applications needing gentle but thorough drying, cooling, or crystallization.
Handling volumes from 5 to 15,000 liters, the CPD excels in processing everything from powders to pastes, products like plant-based proteins, biodegradable polymers, and lithium-ion battery materials. Automation is facilitated through PLC controls with possible CIP/SIP integration, ensuring compliance with international standards, including FDA, cGMP, and EHEDG. Options like a condenser for solvent recovery and material construction in stainless steel or Hastelloy cater to specific needs, ensuring durability and chemical resistance. The CPD offers customizable configurations, supported by engineering teams for tailored solutions, ideal for laboratories and full-scale production environments.
