What Is a Conical Vacuum Dryer?

A single-cone ribbon vacuum dryer performs batch drying under reduced pressure. It utilizes a heated jacket, internal ribbon agitation, and vapor extraction to mix and dry materials simultaneously.

Core Functions:

  • Vacuum: Lowers the boiling point of volatile components, allowing evaporation at lower temperatures.
  • Heating: Provides the necessary thermal energy for evaporation, typically via a heating jacket (hot water, steam, or thermal oil).
  • Ribbon Agitation: Promotes material turnover, prevents agglomeration, and continuously renews contact with the heated surfaces.
  • Vapor Removal: Directs evaporated moisture or solvents to corresponding condenser and vacuum systems.

How can the configuration help control project cost?
By clearly defining what is necessary. We match materials, automation levels, and supply boundaries to your actual process needs, avoiding over-engineering while ensuring performance, making us a cost-conscious alternative to premium international brands.
Do you provide technical support in English?
Yes. We coordinate technical discussions, clarify specifications, and handle drawings and manuals in English. The exact scope of documentation and services will be agreed upon per project.
Are the published kg/batch figures guaranteed for every material?
No. The published kg/batch figures are general references. Actual batch loading mass depends heavily on your specific material's bulk density, flowability, and the chosen loading factor.

The CHD series provides standard published specifications for initial sizing. The GZD-50 is a specific, documented engineering proposal example demonstrating our capability to implement custom materials (like ECTFE coating) and specific seals for a unique project.
Can the system be configured for solvent-containing materials?
Yes. For solvent recovery, we will design the equipment considering material compatibility, sealing requirements, and integrate appropriate vapor condensation and collection systems.
What determines the price and lead time?
Pricing and lead times are determined by vessel size, material grades, specific customizations, auxiliary equipment scope, requested documentation, and current factory scheduling.
