Conical screw dryer

Conical screw dryer

Description

The conical screw dryer is a vacuum contact dryer that is particularly suitable for drying hazardous and toxic products containing solvents or water, to a very low final moisture content, due to its closed design and indirect product heating.

Drive concepts

The BOLZ-SUMMIX conical screw dryer and mixer both use the tried and trusted system of a rotating, self-supporting mixing screw.

Benefits

Conical screw dryers have been used for many different applications in the industrial world for many decades.

Components

In most cases the conical dryer is only one - even if central - component of a complete system for drying solids and takes over the actual mixing, homogenisation and ultimately drying process.

Application example

Among the many examples of dryers and drying systems planned and installed by BOLZ-SUMMIX, one project has been identified in which all members of the MPE Group were involved.

Cleaning & safety

During the construction of a sanitary or pharmaceutical process dryer, the drying container and its system components must be fitted with the best possible cleaning devices to optimise the cleaning process.

Options

It is almost always necessary to adapt to a customer-specific application in the best way possible, beyond the components previously described in the section on CIP cleaning and safety.
