The rotor is designed with vertically-mounted, double walled hollow discs. Heating media flow through the rotor, the discs and the jacketed vessel surrounding the rotor.
These discs provide 85% of the total heating surface.
The rotor speed varies from 0.1 up to 0.5m/s and is independent from the residence time, so optimum mixing and heat transfer can be obtained. The residence time can be adjusted from minutes up to several hours.
The compact size makes it especially appropriate for high heat transfer requirements at minimum floor space requirements.
The Bepex Torusdisc dryer can continuously and efficiently dry, heat cool or react products such as:
Wet powders
Wet cakes
Slurries
Viscous materials
Schematic sketch of the 2 heating principles of the Torusdisc
The Torusdisc is a continuous or batch dryer combining direct and indirect drying. Heat is basically transferred into the product through a jacketed rotor. Fluidization of gas through the bottom or counter flow gas though the dryer can assist evaporating the solvents and volatiles.
Main features of the Torusdisc disc dryer
Small space requirements due to the large heat transfer area (up to 540m2)
Used for batch or continuous heating, drying and cooling, operating under pressure or vacuum
Maximum drying efficiency due to the combination of direct and indirect dryer
Versatility. wide range of heat transfer coefficients, residence times and temperature profiles in one unit
Drying of heat sensitive materials with fluidised gas through the bed of solid
Energy efficient with a thermal efficiency of 1.1 - 1.4Kg steam per Kg water evaporated
Low Maintenance costs
Reliability & quality of manufacturing
