Product Introduction
This product can indirectly heat or cool paste, granular, powdered, and slurry materials, and can complete unit operations such as drying, cooling, heating, sterilization, reaction, and low-temperature combustion. The special wedge-shaped stirring heat transfer blade in the equipment has high heat transfer efficiency and self-cleaning function of the heat transfer surface.

working principle
Wedge shaped hollow blades are densely arranged on the hollow shaft, and the heat medium flows through the blades through the hollow shaft. The heat transfer area within a unit effective volume is large, and the temperature of the heat medium ranges from -40 ℃ to 320 ℃. It can be steam or liquid, such as hot water, thermal oil, etc. Indirect conduction heating does not carry away heat with air, and the heat is used to heat the material. The heat loss is only due to the heat dissipation to the environment through the insulation layer of the device. The wedge-shaped blade heat transfer surface has self-cleaning function. The relative motion between the material particles and the wedge-shaped surface produces a scrubbing effect, which can wash away the attached material on the wedge-shaped surface and maintain a clean heat transfer surface during operation. The shell of the blade dryer is Ω - shaped, and generally two to four hollow mixing shafts are arranged inside the shell. The shell has sealed end caps and upper caps to prevent material dust leakage and fully exert its function.
The heat transfer medium flows through the shell jacket and hollow stirring shaft through the rotary joint. The hollow stirring shaft has different internal structures according to the type of heat medium to ensure good heat transfer effect.

Performance characteristics
The blade dryer has low energy consumption: due to indirect heating, it does not carry a large amount of air to take away heat. The outer wall of the dryer is also equipped with an insulation layer. For slurry materials, only 1.2kg of water vapor is needed to evaporate 1kg of water.
The blade dryer system has low cost: it has a huge heat transfer surface per unit effective volume, which shortens processing time, reduces equipment size, and reduces building area and space.
◎ Wide range of material processing: Using different heat media, it can handle both thermosensitive materials and materials that require high-temperature treatment. Common media include steam, thermal oil, hot water, cooling water, etc.
It can operate continuously or intermittently and can be applied in many fields.
Low environmental pollution: No use of portable air, minimal dust and material entrainment. The solvent evaporation of the material is small, making it easy to handle. For contaminated materials or situations where solvents need to be recycled, closed-loop circulation can be used.
Low operating costs: The device operates normally with only 1-2 people per day. Low speed mixing and reasonable structure result in minimal wear and low maintenance costs.
Stable operation: Due to the special compression expansion stirring effect of the wedge-shaped blade, the material particles are fully in contact with the heat transfer surface. In the axial range, the temperature, humidity, and mixing gradient of the material are small, thereby ensuring the stability of the process.

Adapt to materials
Paddle dryers have been applied in fields such as food, chemical, petrochemical, dye, and industrial sludge. The characteristics of heat transfer, cooling, and stirring of the equipment enable it to perform the following unit operations: combustion (low temperature), cooling, drying (solvent recovery), heating (melting), reaction, and sterilization. The stirring blade is also a heat transfer surface, which increases the heat transfer area per unit effective volume and shortens the processing time. The wedge-shaped blade heat transfer surface also has self-cleaning function. The compression expansion mixing function ensures uniform mixing of materials. The material moves in a "piston flow" along the axial direction, and within the axial range, the temperature, humidity, and mixing gradient of the material are small. Low temperature combustion can be achieved by using thermal oil as the heat medium in a blade dryer. Cooling media such as water, cooling salt water, etc. can be used for cooling. The blade dryer does not use hot air during operation, ensuring ideal conditions for solvent recovery, energy consumption, and environmental control that are easy to handle. It is particularly suitable for the recovery of solvents, flammable and easily oxidizable heat sensitive materials, and has been widely used in the fine chemical, petrochemical, and dye industries. The uniformity of temperature, humidity, and mixing degree within the axial range allows the equipment to be used for heating or melting, or for some solid material reactions. The blade dryer has a large heating area per unit effective volume, which can heat the material to sterilization temperature in a short period of time, avoiding long-term heating and changing the quality of the material.
