High-Efficiency Vacuum Drying for Industrial Powders & Polymers
The PK Blenders Tubular Vacuum Dryer (TVD) delivers ultra-efficient vacuum drying and solid-state thermal processing for powders, polymers, and granules with significantly enhanced heat transfer performance. Engineered with up to six times more heat transfer surface than traditional vacuum dryers, this system accelerates drying cycles while maintaining product integrity at ultra-tight vacuum levels. Ideal for applications such as polymer drying, solid state polymerization, and moisture removal in temperature-sensitive materials, the Tubular Vacuum Dryer ensures uniform results and reduced processing time.
Key Features & Benefits
- Superior heat transfer: Up to six times more heat transfer surface than comparable conical vacuum dryers for faster, more uniform drying.
- Ultra-tight vacuum: Maintains pressures as low as 0.5 mm Hg or lower to protect product quality.
- Supports nitrogen purge: Optional nitrogen purging helps prevent oxidation for sensitive materials.
- High-temperature capability: Jacket temperatures up to 500 °F (260 °C) support efficient moisture removal and polymer processing.
- Advanced control: Automation options provide precise batch control and process tracking for repeatable performance.
- Industrial versatility: Suitable for polymers like Nylon and PET, high-moisture drying, and heat-sensitive powder applications.
