Rotary Disc Coolers
The Rotary Disc Cooler is a continuous surface contact Coolers for use on a wide variety of products. It operates on the principle of indirectly transferring the heat from the product into the cooling - medium which flows through the discs, usually cooled or chilled water.
The unique disc design incorporates a profiled rib which provides additional strength characteristics to the disc plates and eliminates the need for staybolts . The discs are sub-assembled before being installed onto the rotor shaft where they are welded into position.The rotor shaft is completed by the addition of end stub shafts which are forged, tested and then precision machined to mate and bolt onto the ends of the rotor tube.The end result is a highly efficient rotary disc assembly, that has been engineered to meet the most stringent requirements.
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.
