Vacuum dryer for free-flowing and pasty solids
In many industrial processes, the mechanical separation of solids (e.g., via decanter or filter press) is followed by a thermal drying step. For applications requiring precise control over product moisture levels, an effective vacuum drying technology becomes essential.
Enables efficient drying with minimal residue
The EKATO SOLIDMIX vacuum dryer is designed for drying various types of solids, ranging from pasty to free-flowing products. This dryer utilizes either the patented EKATO SOLIDS-PARAVISC impeller for free-flowing goods or the EKATO ISOPAS impeller for poorly flowing, pasty media. The system boasts a modular design that tailors to specific customer needs, incorporating features such as a solvent recovery system, automation, and advanced CIP (Cleaning in Place) capabilities. With effective volumes ranging from 50 to 32,000 liters, the SOLIDMIX series ensures homogeneous temperature distribution and heat transfer, facilitated by vertical mixing with minimal shear. This makes it highly suitable for applications in the fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food industries. Optional components include heatable agitator shafts and ATEX-compliant versions for different safety zones.
