conical dryer / vacuum / mixer / for plastic pellets

Conical Vertical Mixer Dryer ?RIBOCONE? is a multi-purpose equipment that can be used for mixing, drying, cooling, vacuum drying, Filtration & (vacuum) drying and heating treatment (for decrease bacteria in the products or for chemical reactions).

The equipment consists of a vertical cone-shaped vessel with specially combination of top placed vortex breakers and helical ribbon agitator with minimal clearance to the side walls enabling the inlet raw materials to be mixed and /or dried uniformly and efficiently resulting in a quality final product.

Larger heating surface results in above-average heat transfer through continuous mixing and intensive product contact with the heated side wall, resulting shorter drying time.

Drive and bearings are located outside of the mixing chamber in order to prevent risk of product contamination due to lubricants, amongst others.

The raw materials are lifted upwards along the heated side wall, after which it sinks downwards again inside the process chamber resulting in a uniform temperature and product humidity across the entire product chamber.

To increase its efficiency this equipment is enclosed in a jacket that can be used to heat or cool down the product inside the vessel.

More than 430 units have been delivered worldwide for a wide variety of applications such as processing of food, functional food, chemicals, pharmaceutical ingredients, herbal medicine & nutraceuticals, ceramics, resin, solvent recovery (explosion-proof model only), among others.
