The '''Conical Dryers''' combine an unusual design with a unique material of construction into a  unit that uses heat, vacuum, and a gentle tumbling action to dry and  blend even the strongest corrosives. The double inverted cone vacuum  dryer design ensures a thorough mix and a homogeneous product so that  drying is both controlled and fast.

==='''Operational Mechanism'''===

Once the product is fed into the manhole to the desired capacity, clamps  seal the cover and rotation begins. As the CDB revolves, the top layer  of the product rolls down toward the opposite cone and is followed by  the entire mass. The conical walls deflect the product toward the center  producing a constantly changing cross section of material that blends  as it dries. The jacket surrounding the vessel contains a heating medium  that is circulated by means of a rotary joint or through the center of  the support shaft. A vacuum tube removes vapors formed by the heated  jacket.

==='''Advantages'''===

* Anti-corrosion, when the dry solution is not chemically neutral.

* Low operating costs.

* Wide range of options

==='''Options'''===

* Adjustable lump breakers (choppers) for materials that tend to become lumpy.
