Paddle dryer

Paddle dryer

KILBURN  manufactures paddle dryer in technical collaboration with M/s. Nara Machinery, Japan. Paddle dryer is conduction type dryer that processes granular and powdery material by bringing them into direct contact with revolving  cuniform shaped hollow paddles without using gas as a heating medium.

WORKING OFPADDLE DRYERS & COOLERS

A paddle dryer is a heat transmission dryer, a machine that processes organic and inorganic granular and powdery materials. It dries (or cools) these materials by bringing them into direct contact with revolving, Uniform shaped hollow heaters (paddles) without using gas as a heating medium.

The drying process of a paddle dryer differs from that of conventional dryers. In the later, hot air (or gas) is used as a heating medium. In a paddle dryer heat is supplied by transmission of heat from the paddle shaft and jacket. Hot air is used only as a carrier to prevent evaporated vapor from condensing
