Paddle Dryers

Kilburn Engineering Limited offers a range of Paddle Dryers. The company, a leader in drying solutions, has over 30 years of successful record in manufacturing world class critical customised equipment, and customers both international and domestic, including large companies in several industries, viz., chemical, petrochemical, oil, gas, refinery, fertilizer, nuclear power plant and food processing industries. Immense benefits are derived by drying sludges and by-products ? in industries and municipal waste water treatment plants drying of sludges reduces disposal cost and convert waste into marketable products. Kilburn paddle dryers provide a reliable and efficient method for drying of filter cakes and centrifuge concentrates. These are also used to remove hazardous volatiles. In collaboration with Nara Machinery, Japan, it offers paddle dryers for drying of industrial and municipal waste water sludges. This dryer is indirectly heated conduction type dryer with very high thermal efficiency. It consists of 2 hollow shafts with set of hollow cuneiform shaped paddles welded to it and revolving inside a jacketed casing. Heat transfer from heating medium (steam, hot water or hot oil/thermic fluid) to the material is by conduction. Efficient drying of sludge is achieved by bringing it in direct contact with revolving cuneiform hollow paddles, without using any gas as heating medium. The trough is uniformly heated by passing heating medium through the jacket. This ensures that the entire material in the dryer is in full contract with the total heat transfer area during its passage through the dryer.
