The paddle dryer is a high-speed horizontal indirect paddle dryer/cooler suitable for heating and drying slurry, filter cakes, pastes, powders and granulates. It has a patented jet rotor design that allows injection of a gas or liquid through the paddles into a thin layer of material as it spirals along the cylindrical wall of the unit. It can be designed for use with a variety of heat sources and has a vast number of applications. It's fast and very effective. The paddle dryer also processes heat-sensitive materials ranging from free-flowing solids to wet cakes and slurries.
