Rotary Cone Vaccum Dryer
Wet feed is charged as a batch and is subjected to indirect heating while undergoing agitation due to the action of paddle mixing, The operation is normally carried out in vacuum. Recovery of solvent is possible by condensing the vapours generated during the drying operation.
The vacuum inside the dryer allows vapours to be removed at low temperatures, which makes the conical screw vacuum dryer ideal for drying heat-sensitive products. The vapours are removed through a dust filter fitted on top of the vessel.
Features:

Conduction drying.
System is batch .
Granular / pasty wet materials can be handled.
Low temperature operation is possible.
Solvent recovery can be carried out.
FAQs
The RCVD is used for drying heat-sensitive, easily oxidized, or volatile materials under vacuum, ensuring gentle drying and preserving product quality.
Its rotating cone design tumbles the material gently, while the vacuum lowers the boiling point of moisture, enabling efficient drying at lower temperatures.
RCVDs are widely used in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food industries for drying delicate or temperature-sensitive products with high efficiency.
