Krauss-Maffei Helix Mixer Dryer HD

Versatile and flexible mixer dryer. The HD series uses a central, top-driven helical mixer in a conical vessel for gentle and efficient mixing operations or vacuum drying.  A mobile design is available for small product quantities up to 300 liters.  For larger volumes, up to 4000 liters, a stationary version is offered.

A special drying system is available with interchangeable components such as stationary drive module, vacuum system, heating/cooling system, CIP skid and mobile components for simultaneous unit operations to minimize product handling when drying multiple batches. 

Your advantages using a Krauss-Maffei Helix Mixer Dryer HD are:

  • Contamination eliminated due to the closed process area; open filling/discharging procedures are avoided.
  • Decisively shorter drying times.
  • High level of operational flexibility utilizing several vessels of different sizes.
  • Optimal space utilization.
  • Reduced investment costs.

Main Applications
API’s, antibiotics, amino acids, pharmaceutical intermediates, fine chemicals.
