Agitated Thin Film Dryer
A vertical Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD). It rotates in a precision-machined jacketed shell. The feed is converted into a thin film, which is intensely agitated due to action of the high-speed rotor. The feed material goes through phases of slurry, paste and wet powder, before coming out as a dry powder. It's as an effective process in Industrial waste water treatment plant.
Applications
​
Mainly used for difficult vaporization and heat exchange processes, especially where products to be handled are highly viscous and conventional plants can no longer meet user demands because heat transfer is insufficient. Due to the liquid film, mechanically generated on the heating surfaces, thin film equipment achieve much better heat transfer rates, even with highly viscous products containing solids.
