Vacuum Shelf Drier

Vacuum shelf type dryer is an ideal drying equipment for quick and efficient drying of products at restricted temperature without deterioration of product potency and loss of colour and odour with facility of solvent recovery.

Vacuum shelf type dryer has a horizontal, cylindrical shell, with reinforced flat heads with knuckle formation, rear end directly welded to shell, front head forming the door.

The front door is swinging davit type, sliding sideways along side the drier shell requiring minimum space for opening vacuum dryer. The door is suspended on thrust bearings and balanced and requires very little effort for operation.

The circular construction with tongue and groove joint for the flange, with neoprene/viton chord gasket, renders the dryer leak proof to the delight of the user.

The shelves supporting the trays are constructed out of pipes in grid fashion allowing turbulent flow of hot water to be maintained for good heat transfer.

 

The pipe grids forming the shelves are easily removable for maintenance. The ingenious threaded sandwich flange system allows for leak proof joints simultaneously assuring easy maintenance.All the grids are connected to a common header positioned on the rear of the units, easily accessible and leaving the inside of the dryer totally free of joints.

The dryer shell is jacketted and hot water circulation maintained through the same. This enables heat transfer by radiation to the trays, prevents heat loss, achieves quicker drying and acts as a surge space for the hot water circulation.

Fluid bed dryer is available in various capacities ranging from 60 litres to 450 litres.
All contact parts are made of SS 304.
