Product Profile of Agitated Thin Film Dryers

In the year 1990, techno force solutions was started to manufacture process equipment based on thin-film technology. The company supplies a wide range of evaporators, dryers and short path [or molecular] distillation units based on thin film technology. Techno force solutions also supply conventional tubular evaporators of rising film, falling film or forced circulation type and counter-current liquid- liquid extractors.

Techno force solutions offers agitated thin film dryers. The product has its application in pharmaceuticals, bulk drugs and intermediates; dyes, pigments and intermediates; organic and inorganic salts; solvent and products from thick dry residues solvent and products from thick dry residues; dmso from salts; glycerine from salts; organic and salts from waste streams.

The product has some features like,

• Feeds can be processed without pretreatment or dilution.

• Indirect heating and drying in absence of air. Particularly effective for heat, light and oxygen sensitive products.

• Operating pressure can be as low as 1 mbar and operating temperature can be as high as 350 °c [650 °f].

• Organic solvent bearing feeds can be successfully handled with full solvent recovery.

• Probably the most energy efficient dryer in the market. Thermal efficiency can exceed 90%.

• Fine powder of uniform consistency can eliminate pulverizes from downstream step.
