The conical mixer can be modified to perform various process such as
Drying using hot water /steam by jacketing.
Further drying by applying vacuum, specially of thermal sensitive materials.
Cooling by jacketing
Agglomoration , crystallization, granulation
Homogenisation during drying or cooling
Reactions for solid-solid/ solid-liquid
Advantage of above equipment for above mentioned operations are
low energy consumption
can be preformed relatively within short time compared to other processors.
Besides it is a completely closed system , hence environment-friendly.
Effective space utilization, as it can be suspended form top on lugs and utilizes more vertical than horizontal
Drive on top, charging on top, discharge on bottom through gravity all contributes effective maintenance and easy product handling
Several operations and processes can be combined resulting in lesser human handling and less time requirement.
Vapour recovery system can be installed.
Accessories :
Vacuum filter arrangement It consist off a set of cartridge filters of suitable material fitted in a housing. Dust coming out with the vapour are entrapped and made to fall into dryer using Nitrogen purging system solenoid valve & timer controlled. The housing is directly mounted on Dryer with bypass system of isolating valves for use in case of Failure of filters.
Vapour recovery system The vapour duly clened of dust is passed through a system of a condenser- receiver system to be liquefied and collcted. The sizing & design will be determined by extent & type of vapours/solvents in the wet product.
Lumpbreaker The lumps/agglomerates formed during drying can be milled to original grain size of product by using lumpbreaker mounted on bottom portion of cone near apex.
Control and instrumentation- Normal On- off, interlocks / safety sytems are provided. Besides, PLC controller can be provided with recorders.
C.I.P. system - Thre is a cleaning door on cone near apex. Besides, spray ball/ manifold of spray nozzles can be provided on top for internal cleaning of dryer.
