Efficient. Versatile. Engineered for Controlled Thermal Processing.
SED’s Paddle Dryer is a high-performance drying system designed for efficient thermal processing of pastes, powders, granules, and heat-sensitive materials. It supports a wide range of operations, including drying, cooling, crystallization, and solvent recovery. By circulating heating or cooling media through the drying chamber and hollow paddle discs, it ensures uniform thermal processing while maintaining product integrity.
With robust construction, dual rotating shafts, and integrated discharge and moisture removal systems, the Paddle Dryer is ideal for closed-loop, energy-efficient industrial operations.
How it Works
Indirect Heating & Media Circulation
Steam, hot water, or thermic fluid circulates through jackets in the drying chamber and hollow paddle discs, transferring heat efficiently to the material.
Material Feeding & Agitation
Wet material is fed into the chamber, where dual rotating shafts with paddle discs move it forward while maintaining uniform mixing.
Efficient Heat Transfer
Constant agitation prevents material buildup, localized overheating, and ensures uniform thermal exposure.
Moisture Evaporation & Extraction
Moisture evaporates and is removed via an exhaust system, passing through a cyclone separator, condenser, and scrubber for safe, controlled operation.
Continuous, Reliable Operation
The system supports continuous processing, offering consistent performance across varying feed types and applications.
Key Advantages
High Thermal Efficiency
Minimizes energy use while delivering consistent, controlled drying.
Compact & Closed-Loop Design
