Vertical Vacuum Drying System (Ribbon type)

The vertical vacuum drying system is a complete set of process equipment integrating a bag unpacking and feeding conveyor and a vertical ribbon vacuum dryer, widely used in the food, adhesive, and lithium battery industries. The unpacking station handles both small bags and ton bags, with a circular valve controlling the flow rate to effectively prevent dust leakage. The vertical ribbon dryer integrates mixing, reaction, and drying functions, significantly improving process efficiency. The equipment is equipped with a heating jacket, and heating functions can be optionally added to the main shaft and ribbon for even higher drying efficiency. Its special ribbon design allows for full material tumbling and maintains minimal gaps with the container wall, effectively reducing material adhesion. The main shaft mechanical seal achieves a high-vacuum sealing effect, enabling highly efficient drying after connection to a vacuum system, increasing drying efficiency by 3-5 times compared to traditional equipment. A dust collector with a back-blowing device is installed at the top, allowing nitrogen to be introduced to block and back-blown the sucked-up material; a condensation recovery device is also included to recover evaporated solvents. The entire system supports PLC automated control (such as key parameters like temperature, vacuum, and speed) and is equipped with a signal interface for easy remote monitoring and operation.

Product Overview

Materials are fed into the dryer via a dust-free unpacking station using both ton bags and small bags, and then conveyed into the dryer via vacuum conveying. Once inside the dryer, the jacketed cylinder (which can be vented with steam, heat transfer oil, or hot water) provides a uniform heat source for the material. Heating functions are also optional for the main shaft and screw ribbon. A special internal screw ribbon agitator continuously agitates the material, ensuring full contact between heat and the material, making the drying process more efficient. The high vacuum environment significantly lowers the liquid boiling point, achieving low-temperature, high-efficiency drying. Steam generated during the drying process is extracted by a vacuum pump and cooled and recovered by a condenser. The dust collector features heating and nitrogen backflushing functions to prevent dust blockage and backflush it into the tank, maintaining system cleanliness. A side-wall nitrogen inlet device intermittently injects nitrogen to break the vacuum, enhance convection, shorten the drying cycle, and improve drying efficiency. After drying, the material is cooled by the jacket and quickly discharged through a high-seal hemispherical valve or expansion ball valve. The entire machine adopts a mechanical seal structure, providing excellent sealing performance, convenient disassembly and maintenance, ensuring long-term stable operation and low maintenance costs.

Product Advantages

  • Intelligent Integrated Design
    The system is equipped with an integrated unpacking station for both ton bags and small bags, and features a Mettler Toledo multi-load weighing module with an accuracy of 3‰, enabling automatic weighing, batching, and re-weighing of materials. The entire process, including unpacking, conveying, drying, vacuuming, and discharging, is centrally controlled via a PLC+HMI system. This results in a high degree of automation and flexible formula management, meeting both batch production and multi-variety switching needs, significantly reducing manual intervention and operational errors.
  • Multiple Temperature Control Methods
    Heating is generally achieved using circulating hot oil/hot water/steam heating, or electric heating rods can be directly installed in the jacket. Using circulating heating, one heat source system can be configured with multiple drying mixers.
  • Vacuum Assisted Drying System
    To improve the drying performance of the mixer, a vacuum is typically drawn inside the mixer while heating and drying, reducing the evaporation point of the liquid and the liquid content in the air. This can shorten the overall drying time by approximately 40%, typically using a -0.099 MPa vacuum pump. To reduce dust extraction during vacuuming, a bag filter (with backflushing device) is added to the top of the mixer to minimize powder material loss. Simultaneously, a condensation recovery filter can be installed to allow for liquid material recycling.
  • Extensive application experience and highly targeted non-standard design capabilities
    Based on industry, raw material and finished product characteristics, pressure and temperature requirements, solid-liquid ratio, and supporting processes, SIEHE Group develops highly targeted solutions in areas such as drive devices, operability, and sealing.
    For example: a high-sealing vacuum tank developed for the battery cathode material industry; a 250℃ high-temperature resistant product manufactured for a specific chemical; and a special flying knife crushing component provided for the environmental engineering industry.
