Rotocone Vacuum Dryer

Rotocone Vacuum Dryer to some extent, replacing the agitated rotary Vacuum Dryer. It has two opposing jacketed cones on a common jacketed short cylindrical base. When the cones are in a vertical position the dryer can be rapidly discharged.The unit is provided with supporting trunnions running on suitable bearings. The trunnions are allowing. A vacuum Connection is made through one of the trunnions.

The connection pipe is turned upwards in the cone and is fitted with a dust filter at its end. Inlet and outlet pipes pass through the outer trunnion for the supply of suitable heating medium to the jacket. A special design of a rotating valve is used for this purpose. One of the trunnions is driven through a reduction gear and chain drive. Rotation speed will range from 12 rpm for small units to large commercial installations. The Horsepower is varied between 0.5 and 15. The base cylinder diameter is about 1 m to 3m.

Material of construction: Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Carbon Steel, Halar Coating, Rubber Lining, Hastelloy cladding, Teflon lining.

Rotocone Vacuum Dryer is suitable for drying of materials which cannot resist high temperature, materials which are easily oxidized, volatile materials which should be retrieved, materials that are strong irritants and poisonous in nature. The Rotocone Vacuum Dryer with improved technology integrates during operation under vacuum.

The RCVD facilitates enhanced drying efficiency, low temperature operation and economy of process by total solvent recovery. It helps cGMP base working by achieving optimum dust control, while offering advantages of efficient charging and discharging of materials.

The drying unit equipped with lump breakers initially breaks large lumps and subsequently powders them (in a single cone). The rotary action of the dryer together with mechanical action of the breakers cuts down drying time and gives a lump-free product.


  Rotocone Vacuum Dryer Features:

  • Offers simple and effective method of drying wet cakes and sometimes slurries.
  • Uniform material shuffling over the heated contact surface of the cone
  • Reduces drying time and eliminates need of re drying of lumps.
  • Shaft sealing by mechanical seal, offers optimum and continuous vacuum during process.
  • N2 pulse jet dust filter for better operational efficiency.
  • Quick openable discharge valve permits direct packing of dry products into bags or drums.
  • Exposure of final product can be avoided.
  • Easy to clean internal surfaces thus ensuring purity of product.
  • Suitable to process crystalline or amorphous powders which prone for lumps.
  • cGMP construction with safety railing to avoid personnel injury.
  • Available from 100 Ltrs. to 5000 Ltrs. gross capacity.
  • Due to vacuum and agitation, it is possible to dry heat sensitive materials.
  • No degradation due to over exposure, more temperature and time.
