ATFD
Agitated Thin Film Dryer

We recommend the DRY CONTROLFILM ROTOR:
Designed for product recovery and other severe service applications such as yours, This drying technology
arises from over years experience in soap plant glycerine and inorganic salt recovery. We have optimized the
dryer technology for glycerine recovery as well as inorganic salts.
We have special precision designed centrifugally balanced blade design that has higher efficiency compared
with other types of dryers. The balance and weighting cause the blade to ride truer and quieter on the film
and give higher product quality due to heavily reducing entrainment. The advanced wipers geometry reduce
splashing to a minimum, which means less wet salt gets into rotor blade slots. This wet salt causes build up
which shuts operations down. In fact the time between required wash cycles are at least three to four times
as long as previously experienced. The balanced design means less wear, and less jamming or lockup of
blades. The design lifetime is proving to be much longer than previous of wipers due to special mechanical
design.
The discharge system has also been enhanced in recent years and can be discussed personally. It is
proprietary but not necessarily confidential.
Instead of providing any valves to discharge system we recommend maximum up time or directly trolley to
removes the bottom products.
How ATFD work:

Wet product in form of slurry (range from 30 to 50 % w/w) fed through the inlet
nozzle is conveyed steadily by the rotor blades along the heated dryer wall in a thin
film (With the help of steam or Hot Oil or any heating media), normally several
millimeters thick, preventing buildup and continuously exposing every particle of the
product to the heated surface. Vapors pass counter currently to the product flow and
exit the dryer through the feed nozzle, as configured above. Moisture levels from a
few tenths of a percent up to 5%+ can be achieved. Residence time is typically
controlled as per requirement.
Our thin-film dryers are widely used throughout the process industries to convert
liquids, slurries, and pastes to free-flowing solids in continuous, single pass
operation.
Our Thin-film Dryers have a short residence time and are very effective in processing
heat sensitive products, due to low “hold-up” and self-cleaning heating surfaces.
Salient Features:
• Flexible through exchangeable rotor elements
• Continuous, fully enclosed processing
• Short residence time
• Low residual volatile in final powder
• Superior mixing efficiency
• Self-cleaning of heating surface
• Low energy consumption
• Minimal product hold-up
• High Reliability
• Low Maintenance
