What is a Paddle Dryer?
A Paddle Dryer is an energy-efficient industrial dryer that uses indirect heat and rotating paddle blades to gently mix and dry wet materials such as sludge, slurry, powders, or pastes. The hollow paddles are heated by steam, thermal oil, or hot water, transferring heat directly into the material while continuously stirring it.
This design ensures fast, uniform drying, low energy consumption, and safe, dust-free operation. Paddle dryers are widely used in environmental, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, biomass, and petrochemical industries for reliable and sustainable drying solutions.
A paddle dryer is an indirect-contact drying equipment that uses hollow, wedge-shaped paddles mounted on a rotating shaft. Heat is supplied through both the paddles and the dryer’s jacketed shell using steam, thermal oil, or hot water.
As the paddles rotate, they continuously agitate the material, ensuring efficient mixing and constant renewal of the heat transfer surface. This uniform agitation prevents clumping, improves heat penetration, and accelerates drying.
Moisture within the material evaporates due to indirect heating, while vapors are removed through a dust collection and condensation system, ensuring a clean and controlled drying process. The design allows for gentle handling, making it suitable for powders, granules, pastes, and even heat-sensitive materials.
