Batch Cooker - Disc dryer – Sensitar Machinery

Introduction

Indirectly steam-heated and designed for continuous cooking or drying of animal by-products or fish.The rotor consists of a central pipe on which vertically arranged and parallel discs with double walls have been welded.This design results in a concentrated heating surface offering maximum evaporation capacity in a compact design.

The wet material is fed into the dryer through the inlet at the drive end.The material is transported through the dryer and agitated by means of paddles mounted on the periphery of the rotor.

The material is dried by direct contact with the steam-heated surface of the rotor.The water evaporated from the material is removed through the vapour dome at the top of the stator.

The steam inlet is at the non -drive end of the rotor,and the condensate outlet is placed at the drive end.Scraper bars are designed to prevent material buil-up between the discs of the rotor.

The dried material is discharged at the opposite end at the bottom of the stator typically through a discharge screw conveyor with variable speed drive.

Main Character

The stator incl.vapour dome,inlet and outlets as well as the scraper bars between the discs and the adjustable paddles are manufactured in stainless steel.

The vapour dome has removable covers for easy inspection,cleaning and adjustment of the paddles.Every second cover is equipped with an inspection glass with light and wiper for easy inspection.

The disc dryer has oil lubricated external bearings.

The shafts to the dryer are sealed with stuffing boxes.
