Agitated Thin Film Dryer Manufacturer

Agitated Thin Film Dryer

What is an Agitated Thin Film Dryer

Agitated thin film dryer consists of a jacketed vertical shell having an agitator shaft mounted with multiple blades on it. Either steam or hot oil is passed through the jacket of the shell thereby heating the internal surface of the shell to required temperature. The wet product is fed to the dryer at one end and travels to the other end while it comes in contact with hot surface of paddles and container and gets dried. The dry product is discharged at the bottom from the paddle dryer. Agitated Thin Film Dryers are used to dry liquid solutions or slurries into flakes or powder. For heat sensitive products or for products having solvent in them the paddle dryer is operated under vacuum.

Technodry is a leading Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) manufacturer in India, offering compact, efficient, and low-residence-time drying systems for the concentration and drying of liquids, slurries, and pastes into dry, solid, or semi-solid forms. Our ATFD systems are widely used in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, effluent treatment, and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) applications where thermal sensitivity and space optimization are critical.
