PCX™ DISPERSION DRYER

PCX™ Dispersion Dryer with internal back mixing is highly effective in the drying of wet cakes, pastes and slurries. We maintain independent PCX™ Dispersion Dryer Systems in our Technical Center for feasibility, development and confirmation testing for food and chemical applications.

PCX™ systems utilize a variety of heat sources, feeders, classifiers and dispersion plate configurations to meet your needs. The systems may also include an external back mixer for extremely difficult to handle materials, as well as closed loop systems to operate under a controlled oxygen atmosphere.

Advantages & Key Differentiators:

• High drying efficiency: Intense and intimate mixing increases product surface area to ensure rapid evaporation.
• Compact footprint: Purpose designed high gas inlet temperatures and low gas outlet temperatures eliminate degradation of heat sensitive products.
• Uniform final product moisture results from the dispersion plate design.
• Easy maintenance, inspection and cleaning of internal components via hinged access door.

Various Feed Materials:

• Minerals such as calcium carbonate, kaolin clay and gypsum.
• Agricultural products including soy, grains, threonine, lysine, and process byproducts.
• Specialty chemicals; flame retardants, silica gel, and epoxy resins.
• Food technology product; specialty ingredients, brans, food additives and colorings.
• Chemicals including paints, pigments, polymers and metallic compounds.
