VetterTec Disc Dryers

VetterTec offers disc dryers focussing on robust

and reliable design and technologies. With over
20 years of experience VetterTec disc dryers
operate in the starch industries, chemical indus-
tries, and environmental industries in various
applications.
VetterTec disc dryers work as indirect heated
contact dryers. To heat the contact surface, typi-
cally steam is used inside the rotor. The product
gets in contact with the hot surface outside the
rotor, and evaporation of the water takes place.

VetterTec Disc Dryers
Steam heated disc dryers use the contact drying principle to evaporate
water. In other words, the water is evaporated by contacting the surface
of the discs. The disc rotor slowly rotates in a fixed housing. Shovels
mounted on the rotor convey the product from the front end to the back
end of the dryer. Product which slightly sticks on the surface of the disc
is scraped off with special scrapers. The evaporated water leaves the
dryer through the vapour hood in an optimized design to avoid vapour
back flush.
Typically a filter is placed directly in the vapour hood to remove most of
the fines to meet emission requirements. In order to achieve a constant
load in the dryer, which is necessary for op-
timal evaporation, a frequency controlled
discharging screw is installed at the dryer
outlet. A special control system is an inte-
gral feature of the system. This design com-
bined with the drying principle allows to dry
even pasty and adhesive products.
