PADDLEDRY Horizontal Vacuum Dryer (MHT-S)
Robust construction for high-viscosity products
Specially developed for processes with high viscosity and pseudo-plastic behaviour during drying and reaction phases.
Efficient heat transfer
A fully heated vessel, shaft and paddles ensure continuous product renewal against the heated walls, providing shorter drying times.
High operational reliability
Heavy-duty design with full tightness, low rotational speed and variable drive control for optimal process stability.
Flexible capacities
Available in sizes from 50 to 30,000 litres, with optional sanitary or ATEX-certified configurations.
How the PADDLEDRY Horizontal Vacuum Dryer Works
The PADDLEDRY (MHT-S) is a horizontal vacuum dryer equipped with a paddle agitator that combines high thermal efficiency with robust mechanical design. The vessel, shaft and paddles are fully heated to maximise heat transfer.
The paddles rotate slowly but very close to the vessel wall, continuously renewing the product in contact with the heated surfaces.
This design is particularly suitable for drying and reacting products with pseudo-plastic behaviour, where high torque is required. The result is consistent product quality, shorter batch cycles and high process reliability.
The unit can be configured with sanitary (cGMP) design, mirror or electro-polished surfaces, CIP/SIP system, choppers, sampling valve and ATEX 20/0 certification.
