Double Cone Rotary Vacuum Dryer

In industries where product integrity, solvent recovery, and low‑temperature drying are critical, the Double Cone Rotary Vacuum Dryer stands out as a premier choice. This advanced drying system combines mixing and drying in a single, closed vessel, making it indispensable for pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing applications.

What Is a Double Cone Rotary Vacuum Dryer?

The Double Cone Rotary Vacuum Dryer is a new‑generation drying device that operates under vacuum conditions while the double‑cone vessel rotates continuously. This unique design ensures that materials are gently tumbled and uniformly heated, achieving rapid and consistent drying without thermal degradation.

Unlike conventional drying ovens that can cause material caking or uneven moisture removal, this equipment uses indirect heating through a jacketed vessel. Heat is transferred from the jacket to the inner shell, and the vacuum system lowers the boiling point of solvents, enabling efficient drying at low temperatures.

How It Works

The drying process follows three continuous stages:

Heat Transfer

A heating medium (hot water, low‑pressure steam, or thermal oil) circulates through the sealed jacket, transferring heat to the material via the inner shell.

Continuous Mixing

The vessel rotates slowly (typically 4–6 RPM), causing the material to tumble and constantly renew contact with the heated wall surface, maximizing heat exchange efficiency.

Vacuum Evaporation

Under vacuum (design pressure -0.1 to 0.15 MPa), the vapor pressure drops, causing surface moisture to evaporate at lower temperatures. The evaporated solvent is drawn out by a vacuum pump and can be recovered through a condensing system.

These three processes occur simultaneously and continuously, achieving drying in a significantly shorter time compared to conventional dryers.

Key Features & Advantages

Low‑Temperature Drying Capability

Because the system operates under vacuum, drying occurs at much lower temperatures (20–160°C). This makes it ideal for heat‑sensitive biochemical products, pharmaceuticals, and materials that cannot withstand high heat.

Superior Thermal Efficiency

Thermal efficiency is more than twice that of ordinary dryers. The combination of indirect heating and continuous tumbling ensures maximum heat utilization.

No Product Contamination

Indirect heating means the material never comes into direct contact with the heating medium. Additionally, the closed system protects sensitive materials from oxidation and contamination.

GMP‑Compliant Design

All internal and external surfaces are polished (SUS304/316L stainless steel) to eliminate dead corners, making cleaning easy and meeting strict GMP requirements for pharmaceutical and food applications.

Solvent Recovery System

The vacuum system, combined with a low‑temperature condenser, allows efficient recovery of organic solvents, saving production costs and reducing environmental pollution.

Reliable Drive & Sealing

The equipment uses belt‑chain dual elastic coupling, ensuring stable operation and excellent concentricity between the two shafts. Rotary joints from U.S. technology ensure reliable sealing for both heat medium and vacuum systems.

Customizable for Sticky Materials

For adhesive or sticky raw materials, we can specially design a "copy board" mechanism or install balls inside the tank to prevent material agglomeration.
