Nowadays it is used for a large range of products, from baby food to chemicals. Strengths/benefits/features high thermal efficiency ultimate stability and a long, continuous lifecycle designed in accordance with the highest hygienic standards several versions to fullfil the requirements of different applications vacuum drying for heat sensitive product components The drum body of the drum dryer is heated on the inside by steam. A special composition of cast iron gives the drier a combination of favourable properties: accurate shape retention even at high steam pressure and temperature, and excellent "scraping properties" for the scraping knife. Steam heating gives a uniform temperature distribution over the drum surface and this results in a consistent product quality. The steam condenses on the inside of the drying drum. The condensate is continuously removed from the drum, so that the largest possible surface area remains available on the inside of the drum for condensation of the steam. The steam system is a closed system, which means that the product cannot come into contact with the steam or condensate.
