TERMOMIX®
Pressure/vacuum horizontal dryer

The TERMOMIX® horizontal paddle dryer can be used in vacuum as well as in pressure applications and was developed for use in heavy industrial processes. The paddle dryer is applied as mixer, reactor and dryer, where process steps under vacuum / pressure and with heating / cooling may be performed in succession or simultaneously. The TERMOMIX® is a versatile and very strong machine designed for the highest requirements in functionality,reliability and longevity.
The machines meet the following requirements:
• Highly efficient agitator system with good and even mixing action throughout the dryer volume avoiding preferential flow patterns
and dead areas.
• High heat transfer rate
• Discharge of the dried product by the agitator
• Safe processing of hazardous products without endangering operating personnel
or the environment.
The important features of the TERMOMIX® are:

•  Cylindrical, horizontal pressure vessel, with bolted or welded dished covers
•  All surfaces in contact with the product such as the vessel, covers, agitator and vapour filter are heated, providing very efficient heat exchange
•  The agitator is supported on both sides of the vessel
- The agitator is designed to meet the
  requirements of this particular dryer type
  to assure good and even mixing action
  throughout the dryer volume, also in
  reverse operation, to provide good
  discharging characteristics and at the
  same time reduce friction on the product
  to a minimum to prevent local overheating
  as well as to prevent directional thrust or
  local product compression
- Speed adjustable using frequency
  converters with electric drives or control
  valves with hydraulic drives
- Sealing of the agitator shaft with double
  mechanical seals or stuffing boxes
• Mechanical seals: the mechanical seals are installed on the covers, dry or wet running mechanical seals may be installed

•  Advantages of the mechanical seals:
-  Better final vacuum
-  No hazardous leakage or emissions
-  No product contamination
-  Possibility of sterile operation
-  Failure detection system for mechanical
     seal
•  Stuffing boxes with multiple lip seals for undemanding applications
•  Solids discharge valve, plug or ball type, pneumatically operated
•  CIP and / or steam sterilization available
•  Vapour filter, equipped with automatic filter back-cleaning system
•  Sample valve
•  Optional choppers•     Machine controls manual, or with PLC, PC and DCS
•  Electric pre-wiring of machine
•  Design and manufacturing to the requirements of international organizations such as ASME, TÜV, etc.
•  Environmentally sound and safe to operate
