Industrial vacuum batch dryer for reducing moisture content
In industries where maintaining the quality and moisture levels of materials like wood flour, minerals, and hemp powder is crucial, traditional drying methods often fall short. Challenges include prolonged drying times, uneven drying, and overheating sensitive materials, all of which can compromise the end-product quality.

Achieve uniform drying with vacuum technology
The Indirect Vacuum Batch Dryer by Scott Equipment is designed to reduce moisture content in various materials to less than 0.5%. Leveraging plow mixing technology, it creates a mechanically fluidized bed that maximizes contact between the product and the reactor vessel for efficient drying. The use of vacuum technology makes it suitable for temperature-sensitive materials and those requiring short drying cycles. The system is available with high-speed choppers for deagglomeration, ensuring maximum surface area exposure. Constructed from diverse materials like Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel, this dryer offers options for hot oil or steam jackets. With a compact design, it is ideal for limited spaces and remains efficient for rates below 1,500 lbs/hr.
