Horizontal agitated thin film dryer
Drying different selections of materials with wide range of pressure application with multi-pass flow and larger throughput.
Horizontal agitated thin film dryer (ATFD-H) is similar to its vertical counterpart except in a few design considerations, based on suitability of applications. The choice of vertical or horizontal ATFD depends on feed stock, the different volatile components in the feed and the desired form of product. Our ATFD-H can be effectively used for wide range of process fluids including liquids, slurries pastes and wet cakes. ATFD-H designed by FABEX features a cylindrical body and heating jacket. The cylinder is equipped with a rotor which is specifically designed to prevent scale formation on the walls. There is a fixed clearance rotor with screw elements which help in conveying the material from feed side to the product side. The drying process is continuous with single or multi-pass flow which can convert the wet feedstock into dry powder. Our ATFD-H can be used for wide range of operating pressures that includes vacuum, atmospheric pressure and higher pressures.
Principle of Operation: The feed to be dried is continuously carried by the rotor blades towards the heated wall surface and is simultaneously conveyed towards the outlet nozzle. The high heat transfer rates allows efficient cooling/drying of the products in a compact equipment.

Our Specifically designed rotor with various elements prevents scale formation on wall and conveys the material from feed end to powder discharge end in continuous manner
- Low Operating Temperatures with longer residence time
- Flexibility in Operation
- High Turbulence in the product layer
- Can be used for wider Viscosity liquids
- Can be used for wide range of operating pressures including vacuum
The feed to be dried is continuously carried by the rotor blades towards the heated wall surface and is simultaneously conveyed towards the outlet nozzle. The high heat transfer rates allows efficient cooling/drying of the products in a compact equipment.
It is generally utilized in the places where there is a requirement of high/vacuum pressure.
- Concentration of sewage sludge, Industrial Sludge, refinery sludge to eliminate the amount of waste discarded and convert it into a solid waste which can be reused for other purposes
- Chemical industries that deal with catalysts, carbon, limestone etc.
- Polymer industries that require high pressure application for the synthesis of polyvinyl oxides and terepthalic acids
- Food products that require complete drying without loss of flavour and nutrients like cocoa, flour, natural sweeteners etc.
