Non-Intensified Tumble Dryer

PK Blenders’ tumble dryers, available in Twin Shell or Double Cone, are non-intensified units designed for gentle, efficient drying of sensitive materials. Using a rotating vessel, they ensure uniform exposure to heat without the shear or high-energy mixing found in intensified systems. This makes them ideal for applications where product integrity and particle size must be maintained.

Common applications include metal powder treatment, polymerization, mushroom spore creation, monomer removal, solvent recovery, metal oxide powder drying.

Vacuum Tumble Drying

PK Blenders’ Twin Shell and Double Cone tumble dryers offer gentle, non-intensified mixing and drying for fragile or friable materials, preserving product integrity and particle size. Rotating vessels provide uniform heat and mass transfer, while dual-function designs combine blending and drying in a single unit, reducing equipment needs. Constructed with 316L stainless steel and available in standard or slanted double-cone configurations, these ASME code-rated units support flexible operating conditions, capacities from 8 & 16 quarts to 1–100 ft³, and bulk densities from 62–400 lb/ft³. Ideal applications include metal powder treatment, polymerization, solvent recovery, and mushroom spore production.
