**Principle** This is a type of dryer that heats and dries raw materials using a heat medium such as steam (indirect heating type). The main body of the dryer consists of a cylindrical shell and tubes arranged concentrically along the entire length of the shell. The tubes contain the heat medium, and the raw materials sent from the raw material supply section are lifted and stirred by the rotating shell and tubes while receiving heat transfer from the tubes. The main body is slightly inclined towards the outlet side, so the dried product is conveyed towards the next discharge section as it rotates. Additionally, the evaporated liquid is discharged outside the system along with a small amount of carrier gas (accompanying gas). **Features** Easy operation With sufficient residence time and easy adjustment, it can accommodate significant changes in processing volume, and operation is straightforward as it only requires management of the heat source. Energy-saving Achieves energy savings with high thermal efficiency and low running costs. External air isolation Due to the adoption of special seals, there is no gas leakage from the inside or inflow of external air, making solvent recovery easy and reducing the amount of inert gas used. Low exhaust volume As it is an indirect heating type, the amount of exhaust gas is extremely low, allowing for compact exhaust gas treatment and deodorization equipment.

**Principle** This is a type of dryer that heats and dries raw materials using a heat medium such as steam (indirect heating type). The heat medium, such as steam, is supplied to the jacket section of the disk, shaft, and casing. The disk structure is designed as a hollow inclined disk to maximize heat transfer speed and the effects of stirring and oscillation. By rotating this disk, it utilizes a self-cleaning effect that automatically scrapes off dried raw materials adhered to the shaft and casing, improving measures against material adhesion and enhancing evaporation performance through the renewal of the heat transfer surface. **Features** Compact It has a large heat transfer area per unit volume, allowing for a smaller installation footprint. Energy-saving Due to its indirect heating type, it has high thermal efficiency, and the high stirring effect from the inclined disk allows for lower rotational speeds, resulting in reduced power consumption. Easy moisture adjustment Moisture can be adjusted based on residence time and steam temperature. The residence time can be adjusted by changing the height of the outlet of the dryer. Low exhaust volume As an indirect heating type, the amount of exhaust gas is extremely low, making the exhaust gas treatment system and deodorization equipment compact. Additionally, low-temperature drying is possible as vacuum drying.

The "TSMS-MTI Vacuum Mixing Dryer" is a batch-type vacuum, reduced pressure, and mixing dryer that excels in applications such as low-temperature drying, heat treatment, sterilization, and solvent recovery. It can accommodate vacuum levels from a few torr to atmospheric pressure. Its vertical container, small-capacity drive motor, and simple design of various components allow for space-saving installation. The agitator and impeller can be easily removed from the main body, making maintenance straightforward. This product is also effective in applications requiring thorough drying, such as the drying of electronic materials. 【Features】 ■ Achieves high-efficiency drying under vacuum and reduced pressure ■ Capable of low-temperature and atmospheric pressure ventilation drying ■ Can achieve drying in the ppm range ■ It is also possible to wash with solvents inside the main shell ★ Drying tests are currently being accepted!

**Principle** This is a direct heating air flow dryer. By supplying heated hot air to the dryer along with the raw materials, the materials are dried while being transported in the air. The interior of the machine consists of three circular layers, and the raw materials are transported in a spiral from the outer circumference towards the center, before being discharged through the piping in the center. **Features** Easy Maintenance With a simple structure that has no drive components, maintenance such as cleaning can be easily performed through the openable front cover. Compact Due to the swirling flow, particles are mixed vigorously, resulting in high drying performance. Compared to conventional air flow dryers, it requires less installation space, making it possible to install within buildings. Uniform Quality For raw materials that have clumped together due to agglomeration, the damper can be operated to circulate them using the centrifugal force from the swirling flow, extending the residence time within the device. This helps prevent undried areas and variations in drying caused by particle agglomeration, allowing for uniform dried products. Direct Connection to Centrifuge It can be directly connected to an Escher-Wyss type extruder centrifuge to supply dewatered cakes directly. By omitting conveying equipment and utilizing the discharge speed from the separator, an improvement in drying performance can be expected.

We would like to introduce our "Warm Air Dryer." Centrifuged sugar is transported to a horizontal cylindrical rotary drying device for moisture adjustment. Additionally, the inner surface of the steel shell plate is equipped with numerous lifting blades, which repeatedly lift and drop the sugar as it rotates, allowing it to come into contact with hot air for moisture adjustment. 【Features】 ■ Centrifuged sugar is transported to a horizontal cylindrical rotary drying device for moisture adjustment. ■ The inner surface of the steel shell plate is equipped with numerous lifting blades. ■ The sugar is repeatedly lifted and dropped as it rotates. ■ It is brought into contact with hot air for moisture adjustment. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

When considering the selection of models for the introduction of new equipment, we believe there are many aspects that need to be confirmed, such as whether the required capacity is suitable and if the desired performance can truly be achieved. Our company has numerous testing facilities to verify these aspects. If you request testing, we will conduct the tests in your presence, gather the necessary data for scale-up, and based on the results, we will propose appropriate model selection and equipment specifications. 【Features】 ■ Possession of various testing facilities ■ Conducting tests in the presence of customers ■ Gathering necessary data for scale-up ■ Proposing appropriate model selection and equipment specifications based on results *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
