Helix Dryer

From friable bulk goods to sticky pastes, our ANDRITZ Gouda helix dryer can handle many products. The variable speed drive of the helical mixer – a top-driven, central agitator – allows maximum flexibility and optimizes the mixing process for different materials. One dryer for multiple products and multiple purposes. Thanks to its fully automated cleaning cycle, the ANDRITZ Gouda helix dryer is perfectly suited to multi-purpose production plants. The cleaning process takes place between batches and guarantees contamination-free product handling. By heating the vessel wall – and optionally the mixer as well – the ANDRITZ Gouda helix dryer becomes a high-performance contact dryer for thermal solid/liquid separation at low temperatures, known for its gentle yet efficient heat transfer. The steep vessel wall in combination with central product discharge at the bottom provides fast, easy emptying with minimum product retention. Gentle and efficient drying are crucial requirements in modern production plants for chemical or pharmaceutical products. Other prerequisites are maximum flexibility, minimum product loss, contamination-free product handling, and fully automated cleaning. The ANDRITZ Gouda helix dryer has it all.
