About Vacuum Paddle Mixer Dryer
Vacuum Paddle Mixer DryerLOW TEMPERATURE VACUUMIZED DRYING PROCESS TECHNIC
Application & Process :The Vacuum Paddle Mixer Dryer is suitable for mixing and drying the material which can not operate at low Temperature easily oxidized, poisonous in nature. It operates at low Temperature efficiently under vacuum. It is used for raw materials drying and mixing powder or granules of Pharmaceutical Materials, Crystalline, Insecticides, Pesticides, and Food industry and heat sensitive products.
- Material that cannot undertake high temperature.
- Material that is easy to oxidize.
- Material that do not permit to destruct.
- To recover material with residual volatile.
- Material with vigorous irritative and toxicity
The Vacuum Paddle Mixer Dryer consists of a jacketed cylindrical shell with rotating with specially designed Paddle Agitator type blade by rigid fabricated structure motor, gear box. There is provision for application of vacuumized inside the shell and circulation of heating media in the jacket during the rotation of the stirrer. The large heating surface area presented by the internals surface of the shell ensures uniform drying of the product, as the product gently moving & fluidized while the Paddle stirrer rotates. The diffusive action induced by the mixing stirrer constantly presents a fresh layer to come into contact with the indirectly heated walls of the shell. A well designed sealing system enable maintenance of deep vacuum inside the shell, and also ensures positive circulation of a heating media in the jacket.
Salient Features :- Design is cGMP- Current Good Manufacturing Practices compliance.
- All contact parts AISI 316 & non contact parts AISI 304.
- Continuous rotation of paddle stirrer, material will make continuous movement and fluidized in the container and reach to uniform mixing and drying at low temperature..

Optional Features :Option for two type designed of shell 1. Cylindrical type and 2."U" shape.
Advanced Drying Technology for Sensitive MaterialsThis Vacuum Paddle Mixer Dryer utilizes vacuum-assisted drying which minimizes oxidation, preserves product integrity, and recovers solvents. The paddle agitator creates a counter-flowing mixing pattern for thorough, uniform blending, making it ideal for sensitive pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and dye products. Controlled heating via steam, hot water, or thermal oil enables energy-efficient operations at temperatures up to 150C.
Customizable Design for Versatile RequirementsBuilt from high-grade stainless steel (SS304/SS316), the mixer dryer is available in capacities from 50 to 5000 liters. It offers a selection of surface finishes (mirror or matt), manual or pneumatic discharge valves, mechanical shaft seals, and automatic or semi-automatic controls. Installation is straightforward due to its skid-mounted design, facilitating rapid deployment across varied industrial settings.
Efficient Operation and Enhanced SafetyWith a robust gear-driven motor and effective overload protection, this dryer ensures reliable and safe performance. Inspection ports allow routine observation and sampling, while emergency shutdown features contribute to workplace safety. Low noise operation and easy-clean attributes help maintain a comfortable, hygienic manufacturing environment.
FAQ's of Vacuum Paddle Mixer Dryer:
Q: How does the vacuum paddle mixer dryer ensure efficient drying and mixing?
A: The vacuum paddle mixer dryer utilizes a paddle agitator with a counter-flowing mixing pattern, which uniformly blends materials while under vacuum (up to 0.06 mbar), enabling rapid moisture removal and gentle handling. The controlled heating from steam, hot water, or thermal oil jackets further accelerates the drying process without degrading sensitive ingredients.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this equipment in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries?
A: Key benefits include uniform mixing, fast and thorough drying under low oxygen conditions (reducing oxidation), reliable solvent recovery, easy cleaning, and low operational noise. The cGMP-compliant, leak-proof construction enhances safety and hygienic processing, while flexible capacity and control modes support diverse production needs.
Q: When should I choose manual versus pneumatic discharge valves?
A: Manual discharge valves offer simple, cost-effective operation for smaller batches or less frequent discharge. Pneumatic discharge valves, on the other hand, are ideal for larger volumes, faster cycles, or automated processes, providing improved efficiency and convenience during material unloading.
Q: Where is this vacuum paddle mixer dryer typically installed?
A: The equipment is designed for skid-mounted installation, making it suitable for placement in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and dye manufacturing plants. Its compact, customizable footprint allows easy integration into new or existing production lines across dealer, distributor, exporter, fabricator, manufacturer, retailer, supplier, trader, and wholesaler sites in India.
Q: What safety features are included to protect operators and equipment?
A: Safety mechanisms include overload protection for the gearbox-driven motor, emergency shutdown capabilities, leak-proof mechanical shaft seals with flush systems, and inspection ports for safe product sampling and observation during operations.
Q: How are cleaning and maintenance managed for this mixer dryer?
A: The design includes smooth, mirror or matt-finished surfaces (inside and outside) for easy cleaning, while inspection ports support quick access for routine checks. Maintenance is simplified by user-friendly controls, modular skid mounting, and robust stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and product build-up.
