Overview
Conductive heating of materials
through a thermal fluid
jacket on the mixing vessel
will result in a flash evaporation
of volatile components such
as water or organic solvents
as the material agitation
or transfer exposes the
material to the open space
at the top of the mixer.
In order to continue to
drive the evaporation, the
vapor in this free space
must be removed either by
the assistance of a conventional
fan or by convection.
Advantages
Low capital cost as
the drying is accomplished
in the same time and vessel
being used for transferring
and/or mixing
Control of batch drying
time
Good control of end
material temperature
Suitable for drying
of either water or organic
solvents
No or low dust generation,
reduces chances for dust
explosions that can occur
in convective type dryers
Residence time can be
adjusted to allow for
the removal of "bound"
moisture
Application
Low temperature drying,
Reaction,
Crystallization,
Extraction of useful
liquids,
Recovery of solvents
