Rotary Double Cone Vacuum Dryer (RCVD)
The Rotary Double Cone Vacuum Dryer is a highly efficient solution designed to dry heat-sensitive materials under vacuum conditions. Ideal for delicate products, it ensures uniform drying by gently tumbling the material within the cone, minimizing the risk of product degradation. This dryer offers excellent drying results while preserving the quality and purity of the product.
how it works
The filtration process begins when the slurry enters the filter from the vessel, flowing into the top compartment. Here, the filtrate is directed into the lower chamber, while solids are deposited on the filtering media in a uniform cake-like structure. The specially designed agitator maintains the slurry’s motion, ensuring maximum filtrate extraction and sealing any cracks that may form in the cake.
As filtration progresses, the agitator uniformly compresses the cake to extract excess moisture. For additional washing, a wash liquor can be introduced to re-slurry the cake, guaranteeing thorough cleaning of every particle. Once the cake is adequately washed, it is automatically discharged through a side valve, all controlled via a user-friendly panel for smooth and efficient operations.

Advantages of product
Uniform Drying
The Roto Cone Dryer provides uniform heat distribution by continuously rotating the material in a vacuum, ensuring that all particles are dried evenly. This is particularly important for heat-sensitive materials that need gentle drying to maintain quality.
Gentle on Heat-Sensitive Materials
The RCD operates under vacuum conditions, which allows it to dry materials at lower temperatures compared to conventional dryers. This makes it ideal for heat-sensitive substances like pharmaceuticals, food products, or bioactive compounds that could degrade or lose potency at high temperatures.
Efficient Drying Process
Due to its rotating cone design, the dryer ensures continuous mixing and exposure of materials to the drying environment, improving heat and mass transfer efficiency, which leads to faster and more efficient drying.
Solvent Recovery
Since the Roto Cone Dryer often operates under a vacuum, it allows for the recovery of solvents (if used during processing), making it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective choice for processes that involve volatile solvents.
Reduced Dust Generation
Because of the enclosed nature of the drying process and the vacuum operation, there is less dust and particle loss in comparison to traditional dryers. This is particularly important in industries where airborne particles need to be minimized for safety and cleanliness.
Compact and Space-Saving
The design of the Roto Cone Dryer is often more compact than traditional drying equipment, making it suitable for facilities with limited space. This helps maximize floor area utilization.
Easy Operation and Maintenance
The Roto Cone Dryer is relatively easy to operate and maintain, with a straightforward loading and unloading mechanism. The design is typically user-friendly, reducing the risk of human error during operation.
Low Energy Consumption
The RCD’s efficiency in drying under a vacuum lead to lower energy consumption compared to other conventional dryers, which require more energy to heat the air and evaporate moisture.
Versatility
Roto Cone Dryers are versatile and can be used for drying powders, granules, slurries, or pastes. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food processing, and more.
Improved Product Quality
The gentle drying process of the Roto Cone Dryer helps preserve the molecular structure and integrity of sensitive materials, which is important in maintaining the final product’s quality, especially in pharmaceuticals and food processing.
In summary, the Roto Cone Dryer provides several advantages like uniform drying, energy efficiency, gentle handling of heat-sensitive materials, and solvent recovery, making it a popular choice for industries that require precise and efficient drying solutions.
