Engineering Advantages

Built for demanding vacuum drying duty

High Thermal Efficiency

Nearly all heat input goes to evaporation, with only minor end-cover and radiation losses, giving 80-90% thermal efficiency.

Very Short Drying Period

A thin material film dries in typically 10-300 seconds, well suited to materials that would degrade under prolonged heat exposure.

Adjustable Process Parameters

Concentration, film thickness, heating medium temperature, and drum speed can all be tuned to match the material being processed.

Vacuum Option Available

A vacuum-operated configuration further lowers drying temperature for materials that are especially heat-sensitive.

Matched Heat and Mass Transfer

Heat and mass transfer occur in the same direction through the thin film, driving a fast, efficient drying rate.

Integrated Scraping and Conveying

A fitted blade scrapes dried material from the drum directly onto a screw conveyor for immediate collection and packaging.

High Evaporation Strength

Evaporation strength of 20-70 kg of water per m² per hour delivers strong throughput per unit of drum surface area.

Nine Standard Drum Sizes

Effective heating areas from 1.12 m² to 10.60 m² across nine standard models make it straightforward to match capacity to throughput.

Working Principle

The vacuum rake drying cycle

  1. STEP 01

    Feed Trough Immersion

    The rotating drum passes through a lower feed trough, picking up wet material on its surface as it turns.

  2. STEP 02

    Film Formation

    Material adheres to the drum surface as a thin, controlled film with a thickness of 0.3-1.5 mm.

  3. STEP 03

    Conductive Heat Transfer

    Heating medium delivered through internal pipes conducts heat through the inner drum wall, outer wall, and into the material film.

  4. STEP 04

    Rapid Moisture Evaporation

    The thin film and matched heat/mass transfer direction evaporate moisture quickly, typically within 10-300 seconds of contact time.

  5. STEP 05

    Blade Scraping

    A fitted blade scrapes the dried material film off the drum surface as it completes its rotation.

  6. STEP 06

    Screw Conveyor Discharge

    Scraped material falls onto a screw conveyor beneath the blade, which conveys it for collection and packaging.

Why Choose Ruibo

Reasons processors specify Ruibo

80-90% Thermal Efficiency

Direct conduction through a thin film wastes very little heat, delivering thermal efficiency well above typical convective dryers.

Seconds-Scale Drying

A 10-300 second drying period suits materials that would degrade, discolor, or lose potency under prolonged heat exposure.

Fully Tunable Process

Concentration, film thickness, drum speed, and heating medium temperature can all be adjusted to match a specific material profile.

Vacuum Option for Sensitive Materials

A vacuum-operated configuration extends low-temperature processing capability to especially heat-sensitive feedstocks.

Integrated Discharge Handling

Built-in scraper and screw conveyor eliminate manual material handling between drying and packaging.

Nine Standard Sizes

Effective heating areas from 1.12 m² to 10.60 m² across nine standard models make it straightforward to match capacity to throughput.
