Horizontal vacuum paddle dryer for bulk production facilities
Achieve precise moisture control in powders with a versatile machine designed to handle mixing, reacting, and drying operations, ensuring uniform results in high-capacity batch processes.
Mixes, Reacts, Precipitates, and Dries Industrial Materials
The COMBER Termomix® Series TM 1000 – TM 40000 from the HEINKEL Group offers a robust solution for high-capacity industrial applications requiring precise batch processing. This horizontal vacuum paddle dryer/reactor excels in mixing, reacting, precipitating, and drying, thanks to its innovative design that incorporates an agitator supported on both ends. This configuration ensures efficient mixing characteristics, augmented by externally interchangeable stuffing boxes or mechanical seals. With a substantial heating area, the Termomix® facilitates outstanding heat transfer across vessel walls, ends, and agitator components, making it ideal for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients, specialty chemicals, and food additives. The equipment supports applications where maintaining chemical integrity and energy efficiency is crucial, available in materials like stainless steels and nickel-based alloys for corrosion resistance. Designed to operate at temperatures between -10 to 150°C and pressures from full vacuum to 6.5 psig, it meets rigorous safety and compliance standards, including PED and ASME certifications. Integration with existing production lines is smooth, courtesy of its PLC-controlled system featuring a user-friendly HMI and DCS interface. Customizable options and extensive engineering support ensure the Termomix® adapts to your production needs, while features like CIP systems streamline maintenance and cleaning.
