VETTER Tube Bundle Dryers – Safe, Reliable, Effective
08 October 2007
Due to their method of operation, VETTER tube bundle dryers are one of the safest and most reliable products in the dryer market. The steam heated tube bundle slowly rotates in an immobile housing and conveys the product to be dried axially through the dryer. Shovels elevate the product along the circumference, and then the product trickles through the tube bundle back into the trough. It gets dried by contact with the tubes and by convection.
As well as safety and reliability, other advantages of VETTER tube bundle dryers include low steam consumption, minimal space requirements, low emissions and no unpleasant smells, and a gentle drying process due to low temperatures.
Special Features include:
- Indirect heating, meaning no contact between product and heating medium
- Saturated steam of 2–12 bar/g as main heating source
- Compact construction
- Tube bundle construction made of mild steel or stainless steel
- Housing and vapour extraction made of stainless steel
- ATEX design is possible
- GOST-R certification
- Low oxygen drying
ABOUT VETTER TUBE BUNDLE DRYERS
Tube bundle heat exchangers are employed in a wide range of applications as dryers, conditioners or desolventisers. Both granular and slightly adhesive products can be dried in a tube bundle dryer - to be able to dry slightly adhesive products, the dryer is equipped with a specially developed recirculation system.
To achieve an optimal operating behaviour, each dryer is customized: the spaces between tubes and tube diameters, and the shovel positions and filling levels inside the housing are selected and adjusted to an optimum.
VETTER tube bundle dryers offer an unparalleled level of versatility, with fields of application within the alcohol and brewing industry, the chemicals and plastics industry, and the food processing and extraction industry.
