General Construction
The cooling medium is introduced through a rotary joint into the inside of the rotor tube from where it is evenly distributed to each individual disc. The used medium is efficiently collected and discharged through the opposite end of the rotor tube. Scraper bars can be fitted between each row of discs to improve the product flow. The cooler is driven by a shaft mounted gearbox and powered by a suitably rated motor.A belt driven fluid coupling connects the two units together.
