ATFD
Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) for evaporation of water/solvents to make concentrated liquid to dry powder up to 5% moisture. Based on application either recovered solvent or dry product is important. Agitated Thin Film Dryer design is the ideal apparatus for continuous processing of concentrated material for drying.
Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) for evaporation of water/solvents to make concentrated liquid to dry powder or flakes. Based on application either recovered solvent or dry product is important. Agitated Thin Film Dryer design is the ideal apparatus for continuous processing of concentrated material for drying. Agitated Thin Film Dryer is consisting of cylindrical, vertical body with heating jacket and a rotor inside of the shell which is equipped with rows of pendulum blades all over the length of the dryer.
He vapors produced rise upwards, counter-current to the liquid and pass through a Cyclone Separator mounted at the vapor outlet of Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD). Further these vapors will be condensed in a condenser and recovered as condensate. The system will be operated under vacuum for temperature sensitive products and atmospheric conditions for normal drying.
FEATURES
• Single point solution for drying applications.
• powder recovery it eliminates other unit operation like Crystallization, Filtration, centrifuging which required before drying.
• Eliminate & Rotary Dryer, Pulverize and grinding which are required after drying.
• Compact design eliminates large area requirement.
• Less maintenance increases efficiency of production.
