Drum Flaker

Product Description

Drum Flaker/Drier consist of Drum fabricated from Mild Steel or Stainless steel with hollow shafts on both ends. The drum surfaced is duly ground and hardcromed with superior finish to get uniform thickness of the flakes. The Scraping arrangement is made of Copper or Fibre Blades to scrape the flakes. A discharge tray is provided to collect the Flakes.

The drum is provided with a Hollow Shaft for entry of water for sprinkling on the inside of the drum for cooling purpose.The drum is mounted on selfaligning spherical roller bearing for smooth rotation and to take care of scraping loads. A jacketed feed tray is provided below the drum in which molten material is poured, the molten material gets coated to the drum by a sizer pipe.

Furthermore, this machine is easily to operate with good quality.

The thickness and output of this flaker depends on the raw material characteristics, drum speed and feeding speed.

The flake specifications can be customized.

Applications

1. For continuous drying of viscous, pasty and sticky materials in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industry. 

2. Heating area: 1.12-10.6 M2

3. Evaporation capacity: 40-60 kg water / hour 

4. Working type: continuous

5. Heat source: steam

Technical Advantages

1) High heat efficiency: Heat loss is mainly caused thermal radiation. Heat efficiency can be as high as 90%.

2) Short drying time: The drying process only takes 10-15 seconds. So drum dryer can be used for drying heat sensitive material.

3) Uniform drying: Heat transfer direction and coefficient all over the drum surface are the same. And wet material can be evenly spread over the drum surface. Wet material can be uniformly dried.

4) Long life span: Rotary drum is electro-polished and well heat treated to increase the smoothness and hardness.

5) Flexible application: Drum surface temperature, rotating speed, wet material film thickness are all adjustable to satisfy materials with different moisture and drying time.

6) Compact size: The drying chamber is very compact in size. Only need small installation space.

7) Low operation cost: The whole machine is very simple and reliable. It can be used for many years with little repair and maintenance.

8) Highest hygienic standard: Indirect heating and electro-polished drum surface can assure highest hygienic working conditions.
