Paddle Dryers

The Paddle Dryers are now used so commonly across the chemical industry.


Operating Principle

The wet feed is continuously agitated by the heated rotating blades, thus exposing new areas to heating surfaces. This results in the moisture boiling off and rendering the wet material dry to the required degree.


Special Features

  • Suitable for processing entire range of feeds, except liquids
  • Product, granular, powdery
  • Very high evaporation capacity
  • Very high thermal efficiency
  • Partial drying possible
  • Continuous operation
  • Compact installation


Typical Applications

  • Crystaline Solids
  • Pasty Solids
  • Sludge
  • Agro Waste
  • Magnesium Carbonate
  • Polypropylene Beads
