Freeflowing powders, granules and products of larger sizes are conveyed into a hopper on top of vacuum belt dryer. The product is fed in doses into an intermediate chamber, from where the product will be loaded onto the top belt by a unique dosing system. Solid products are transported back and forth through the dryer from the top to the bottom belt, to extend the residence time. (Belts are used in series) Heating plates underneath the belts are installed in independent heated zones to permit constant or variable drying rates. Additional radiant plates (patented) gives a surplus on drying capacity. This system allows gentle continuous drying for maximum product quality. In addition, the last zone can be designed as a cooling zone if required. The pieces are collected in an intermediate hopper from where they are discharged out of the vacuum into the atmospheric environment using automatic airlocks.
