Horizontal vacuum paddle dryer for thermosensitive products
When handling products with high viscosity and pseudo-plastic behavior, effective drying and reaction phases are critical. Particularly in industries like pharmaceuticals and chemicals, managing torque resistance and turbulence in the product can be challenging.
Optimizing drying and reactions under vacuum conditions
The Turbodry, developed by Bachiller, is a horizontal vacuum paddle dryer and reactor specialized for thermosensitive products. The system features a heated body and shaft to maximize thermal exchange, with paddles rotating swiftly near the wall to create high turbulence and continually renew the product. This enhances the drying process and ensures consistent thermal treatment. The Turbodry operates in batch mode with capacities ranging from 10 to 30,000 liters, and it supports vacuum levels down to 1 mbar and operating temperatures up to 350ºC. Designed to meet standards such as ASME VIII div.1, AD-2000, and EN-13445, and marked under the 2006/42/CE Safety for Machinery Directive, the equipment is suitable for various applications in fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food industries.
