GIG Karasek’s thin-film drying technology can be used for continuous drying of suspensions, sludges, slurries, pastes and wet solids, filter cakes. It is also suitable for heat-sensitive products, such as polymers, foods and pharmaceuticals. The product to be dried is distributed over the circumference of the heating surface to form a downward-flowing thin film of liquid that is stirred by a specially shaped rotor system to create optimal turbulence. These dryers can produce dry powder from a liquid feed. They can be used either alone, or as a pre- or post-dryer combined with other equipment.
Horizontal thin-film dryers are ideal for drying slurries and pastes, while their vertical counterparts are preferred for continuous drying of liquids to wet solids in a single step.
