THIN-FILM DRYING

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about LCI Corporation's horizontal thin-film dryers, which are used to convert liquids, slurries, and pastes into free-flowing solids. These dryers are suitable for heat-sensitive products due to their short residence time and self-cleaning surfaces.
Specifications: The dryers are available in various sizes with different overall lengths, rotor withdrawal, and diameters. They are designed for continuous, single-pass operation and can be heated indirectly by steam or hot oil.
Applications: LCI thin-film dryers are used in various industries, including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. They are effective for drying heat-sensitive or hazardous products, solvent recovery, and processing reactive or toxic substances.
Operational Features: The dryers feature a fully enclosed design, low product hold-up, and minimal energy consumption. They use hinged pendulum blades to prevent fouling and ensure efficient heat transfer. The system allows for continuous processing with low residual volatiles in the final product.
Quality Standards: The dryers are manufactured in ISO 9001:2000 certified facilities, adhering to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 (U-Stamp), and European vessel certification (PED) standards.
Advantages: Key benefits include short residence time, low energy consumption, superior mixing efficiency, and flexible operation through exchangeable rotor elements.
