Cost Reduction
Engineered to provide a substantial heat transfer surface within a compact effective volume, our vacuum spiral dryer's minimized footprint significantly reduces both construction costs and spatial requirements.
Compared to other vacuum drying equipment like rake dryers or paddle dryers, the vacuum spiral dryer offers significantly higher drying efficiency and broader applicability. Its unique spiral structure and vacuum environment ensure uniform heating of materials during drying, reducing heat loss and drying time. Additionally, the spiral blades, main shaft, and inner drying wall can all be heated, greatly enhancing drying efficiency, typically 3-5 times more efficient than other vacuum dryers.
Our focus in research and development has always been on enhancing efficiency, environmental protection, and sustainable development in the drying industry, while also adapting to the demands of emerging markets.
Compared to conventional vacuum rake dryers, vacuum paddle dryers, and vacuum tray dryers, the vacuum hollow spiral dryer surpasses them in both structural design and operational efficiency. Its design offers significant advantages over other types of vacuum dryers. However, one drawback is that its price is considerably higher compared to other vacuum dryers. Therefore, it is best suited for materials that have high value and stringent drying requirements, where the investment in quality drying equipment is justified.
Our vacuum hollow spiral dryer is currently being continuously upgraded and improved to meet the increasing demands of our customers. Looking ahead, with advancements in automation and process control technology, we are confident that the vacuum hollow spiral dryer will undergo significant transformations. These advancements will enable seamless integration into Industry 4.0 initiatives, bringing about more efficient and intelligent solutions for the manufacturing sector. With the combination of precision engineering and advanced functionality, this pioneering drying technology will continue to lead the global industrial manufacturing industry forward, laying a solid foundation for future innovations and achievements.
The drying process of the hollow screw vacuum batch dryer is to place the materials to be dried in a sealed drying chamber, using the shaft and blades to stir the materials and flow them, while using the vacuum system to evacuate, the materials are heated through the shaft, blades and the inner wall, so that the moisture inside the material is pumped away by the vacuum pump in a negative pressure environment. During the vacuum drying process, due to the low pressure state, the number of gas molecules is small, the density is low, and the oxygen content is low, so it can dry materials that are easily oxidized and deteriorate, and flammable and explosive dangerous goods, it can play a certain role in disinfection and sterilization of medicines, food and biological products, and can reduce the chance of material contamination or inhibit the growth of certain bacteria.
Continous Drying
The hollow screw vacuum continuous dryer consists of multiple chambers connected in parallel,each chamber can independently control the temperature and flow rate of the material, and can be converted to heating or cooling as needed.The hollow screw vacuum continuous dryer realizes continuous feeding and discharging under vacuum state, breaking through the technical problem of continuous feeding and discharging under vacuum state.The feeding amount can be freely set as needed, so that batch drying can be successfully transformed into dynamic continuous drying. while greatly increasing the output of dry products,also comprehemnsively production costs reducing.
