Continuous drying plate dryer. Where continuous drying of free-flowing bulk materials is required, the Krauss-Maffei plate dryer is the right choice. It has been proven in over 400 applications and is available in atmospheric, gas-tight or vacuum configurations. The plate dryer can dry sensitive, toxic or solvent containing products gently without any impact to the environment.
The key performance characteristics of the Plate Dryer TT are:
- High quality of the dried product through exact control of drying temperature and retention time.
- Gentle product handling without back-mixing.
- Maximum flexibility by optimizing the product layer depth and speed/configuration of the plow arrangement.
- Minimum energy requirement through efficient contact drying.
- Minimum dust load, low carrier gas flow.
- Easy solvent recovery.
- Easy inspection through large access doors.
