Horizontal Paddle Dryer for chemical applications
Horizontal paddle dryers are used in chemical production when robust mechanical design, intensive mixing and efficient heat transfer are required. The Comber Termomix® dryer is dedicated to chemical applications, supporting reliable drying performance under demanding process conditions.
Horizontal Paddle Dryer – Comber Termomix powered by De Dietrich
The Termomix horizontal paddle dryer is designed for drying chemical products that require intensive agitation combined with efficient heat transfer under vacuum or inert conditions. Its horizontal configuration allows continuous product turnover, uniform heat distribution and stable drying behaviour, even with cohesive or difficult materials.
The paddle dryer is typically selected for multipurpose chemical plants where flexibility, repeatability and long-term mechanical stability are key requirements.
paddle geometry
The paddle geometry is designed to ensure effective mixing across the entire vessel, limiting dead zones and supporting consistent drying performance from batch to batch.
For more demanding applications, Comber also integrates paddle designs originating from the former Italian company CMR, extending the range toward heavy-duty and high-load operating conditions
Performance Driven by Robust Mechanical Design
Performance in horizontal paddle drying depends on how the equipment design supports intensive mixing, uniform heat transfer and stable operation under demanding process conditions.
Intensive mixing and efficient heat transfer
The horizontal vessel geometry, combined with heated paddles and shaft, promotes strong mixing and effective contact between the product and heat-transfer surfaces, ensuring uniform drying.
Heavy-duty design for demanding applications
The Termomix® dryer is designed to withstand high mechanical loads and continuous operation. The integration of CMR paddle concepts makes it particularly suitable for abrasive products, high filling ratios or severe operating regimes.
Robust construction and operational reliability
A solid mechanical design and proven agitation principles contribute to stable and predictable operation in industrial environments.
ATEX-compliance
Designs compatible with ATEX zones enable safe operation in solvent-rich or inerted environments.
