Double Cone Vacuum Dryer

  • Accurate temperature measurement: the equipment can measure the temperature of the inner cavity (material temperature).
  • Adjustable position of speed reducer and motor: adjust the best tension of the chain.
  • The manhole cover is attached to the tank (connected by hinge): one person can operate it.
  • Optional vacuum feeding: reduce labor intensity, feeding port is located on the manhole cover of the double cone dryer, the manhole cover is made of 304 stainless steel.
  • The gap between the double cone tank body and the vacuum tube (304 stainless steel) is sealed by Teflon bushing, which is more effective, wearable, and durable.
  • The dynamic and static seal between the double cone tank body and the seat adopts advanced rotary joint to ensure the sealing effect.

The middle of the dryer tank is cylindrical, the two ends are conical, and the top of the cone is provided with inlet and outlet. The inside and outside of the tank are divided into three layers, and the heating medium of the middle jacket adopts circulating hot water; the insulating layer is an aluminum silicate, which consumes very little energy; the inner layer is filled with materials.

Rotary drying under vacuum conditions, the material gets heat through the wall while turning, and accelerates drying, which not only avoids the phenomenon that the surface of heat-sensitive materials turns yellow when drying, but also greatly shortens the drying time of materials. The drying time in the oven is about 2/3, which greatly improves labor productivity.

This equipment is especially suitable for drying easily oxidizable and flammable, explosive, toxic materials and heat-sensitive materials. It can show its superiority when it is applied to materials that require no damage to the shape, materials that strictly limit metal ions, and materials that require the discharge of volatiles (or toxic substances) to be recovered (or to destroy toxicity).

Applicable Materials

  • Heat-sensitive materials that cannot withstand high temperatures;
  • Materials that are easily oxidized and dangerous;
  • Materials that do not allow damage to crystals;
  • Materials that need to recover the steam discharged during drying;
  • Materials that need to recover solvents and toxic gases;
  • Materials with extremely low residual volatile content are required.

BATCH VACUUM DRYING

How a Double Cone Vacuum Dryer Processes a Batch

The batch is loaded into the double-cone vessel, which rotates to renew material contact with the heated wall. Jacket heat supplies the drying duty while the vacuum system removes vapor. Where recovery is required, the condenser and receiver are selected from the actual volatile load and process conditions.

1. Load the Batch

Batch mass and fill volume are checked against bulk density, flowability and the required free space for tumbling.

2. Rotate and Heat

Vessel speed, jacket medium and wall temperature are selected for heat transfer without unacceptable attrition or adhesion.

3. Remove and Recover Vapor

Vacuum level, vapor piping, condenser duty and receiver arrangement are based on the moisture or solvent load.

4. Cool and Discharge

Cooling, inerting, containment and discharge method are confirmed from product and site requirements.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

Double Cone Vacuum Dryer FAQs

What materials can be evaluated in a double cone vacuum dryer?

A double cone vacuum dryer can be evaluated for suitable free-flowing powders, granules or crystals that benefit from batch tumbling and reduced-pressure drying. Flowability, attrition, agglomeration, wall adhesion, thermal sensitivity and vapor behavior must be reviewed.

How does a double cone vacuum dryer heat and mix material?

The rotating vessel gently moves the batch while heat transfers through the jacketed wall. Reduced pressure lowers the boiling temperature of the volatile component, and the vacuum and condensation system removes vapor under the confirmed process conditions.

Can a standard double cone dryer be used for flammable or toxic materials?

Not without a material-specific engineering and process hazard assessment. Solvent properties, dust hazards, oxygen control, ignition sources, containment, condensation, vacuum equipment, relief or protection measures, site classification and local requirements must be addressed.

What information is needed for a double cone vacuum dryer proposal?

Provide material name, particle size, bulk density, batch mass and fill volume, initial and target moisture, solvent or volatile data, temperature limit, allowable attrition, residence-time target, heating and cooling media, containment needs, utilities and installation country.
