Frozen block ice flaker

FOR CONTINUOUS PROCESSES The DRF Delta Drum Flaker is an extremely robust machine for continuous production. This equipment is used primarily for the solidification of surfactants and waxes. However, more applications for these machines are also being found in the food and chemical industry. The DRF Delta Drum Flaker benefits are: Continuous process Easy operation and maintenance Low CAPEX AND OPEX costs Low energy / power consumption Simple control of flakes features, controlling process parameters. PRINCIPLES The target of the DRF Delta Drum Flaker is to convert a hot molten product into solid flakes using an internal cooled drum: First, a thin layer of liquid product adheres to the outside of the rotating drum and solidifies between the feed and the knife. Then, when the hardened layer arrives at the knife, it is peeled from the drum and broken into small flakes that fall into the discharge device. Depending on product features, two different designs are available. DRFV - Single drum flaker with vat Suitable for warm liquid products whose state changes with a cooling action. The DRFV is equipped with the following devices: Rotating cylindrical drum where the molten product adheres to the external surface which is cooled internally by means of a sprayer system Heated vat where the hot melted product is stored and where the drum dips Special adjustable overflow to control the level in the vat Knife to detach product from the drum Drive unit for drum rotation at variable rotational speed Discharge hopper for flake collection DRFT - Flaker with distribution roll Suitable for pasty products, the DRFT differs from the DRFV in the following ways
