Industrial vacuum batch dryer for reducing moisture content
Achieve precise moisture control with a solution that handles temperature-sensitive materials, ensuring your production meets stringent quality standards while optimizing drying efficiency through vacuum technology.

Reduces Moisture and Deagglomerates Solids
The Indirect Vacuum Batch Dryer from Scott Equipment is an indirectly heated drying system engineered for precise moisture control. Utilizing plow mixing technology, it effectively creates a mechanically fluidized bed to enhance material contact within the reactor vessel. Ideal for sensitive applications, the vacuum feature ensures rapid drying of solids to less than 0.5% moisture. This equipment is utilized across a variety of industries, handling materials like calcium carbonate powder, soy protein isolate, and polypropylene resin efficiently. Designed for batch processing, it integrates smoothly into processing and final conditioning operations, with high-speed choppers available for effective deagglomeration. Available in multiple material options, including carbon steel and stainless steel, it ensures compatibility with varying material requirements. The compact and safe design makes it feasible for operations with limited space, while hot oil or steam jackets provide effective indirect heating. Its operational flexibility is complemented by custom configurations and engineering support, accommodating diverse production needs.
