Tube Bundle Dryer

Description:

Microtec is a global leader in supply of world-class Tube Bundle Dryers, offering solutions that cater to a wide range of industrial drying needs. Our Tube Bundle Dryers are engineered to deliver superior performance in drying sensitive wet materials, such as corn germ, corn fibre, gluten, and various other feed products, where low drying temperatures are essential.

At Microtec, we understand that the efficiency and reliability of a dryer are paramount. That is why our Tube Bundle Dryers are built to meet the highest international safety standards, including CE, ASME, and European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) certifications. We provide a broad range of capacities, from compact units with 100 m² heating surfaces to large-scale industrial models with up to 1800 m². Each dryer is meticulously crafted with the finest materials, including options for carbon steel or stainless steel 316L, depending on client requirements.

Tube bundle dryer operates with a rotating rotor equipped with tubes that are indirectly heated by saturated steam. This design ensures gentle and uniform drying, as the wet material is conveyed through the dryer shell by stainless steel shovels. These shovels continuously lift and mix the material, ensuring it is evenly distributed over the steam-heated tubes. The slow rotation of the rotor ensures that the material remains in contact with the heated surface long enough to achieve the desired moisture content without thermal damage.

To handle challenging product feeds, such as adhesive or high-moisture content materials, the system can be equipped with a product mixing and recycling system, ensuring consistent and efficient drying performance.
