Disc Dryer

Introduction

Sensitar Disc Dryer is the ideal solution for removing as much water as possible, as gently as

possible, from coarser fish, animal or poultry by-products with a low fat content.

For continuous drying of de-fatted fish, animal or poultry by-products.

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.

Application:

Sensitar disc dryers are ideal for drying products that include:

1.Defatted animal by-products such as meat and bone

2.Defatted fish by-products

3. Hydrolyzed feathers

4. Mechanically dewatered blood
