Biconical dryer blenders

Drying is a common process step required after a solid-liquid separation. Vacuum drying is the most efficient and effective means to obtain this for most pharmaceutical and chemical products, facilitating the processing of thermal sensitive substances, as well.
Our agitated vacuum dryers ensure homogenous mixing of the product, improving the heat exchange factor and, as a final result, further reducing the drying time.

The biconical dryer combines high efficiency in drying with optimal mixing and stirring of the product, achieved through the drying chamber’s rotation, in addition to easy discharge, cleaning and inspection operations.
Excellent resistance to aggressive acid conditions is ensured with glass linings.
It is particularly suitable for the pharmaceutical industry.

All operations are conducted without exposing operators to the products and without contaminating the product itself, ensuring safety and quality at the same time.
We provide special solutions to keep the process fully contained also during the product filling and discharge phases.

Our dryers are effectively used in multiple applications across the following different industries:

  • Biochemicals
  • Crop protection
  • Flavours & fragrances
  • Food & beverage
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Polymers
  • Precious and technology metals
  • Waste recovery

Depending on the product and/or application, different kinds of dryers can be designed and drying can also be combined with filtration in a single unit, for even higher efficiency and product containment, as ensured by our pressure filter dryers.

More about filter dryers

Dryers or filter dryers can be provided as standalone units or modular turnkey systems to simultaneously satisfy functional needs and efficiency in project costs and execution time.
