drum flakers

·        DRUM FLAKER are used to convert molten products into solid in to  continuous operation. Molten feed adheres on to the outer surface of rotating drum through feed tray / applicator Roller. To avoid solidification of feed melt on the tray, it is provided with limpet coil or jacketed provision to maintain the heating by steam, thermic fluid or hot water. Drum is internally cooled by spraying chilled / cooling water through spray nozzles. To avoid leakage of cooling water medium,  PTFE rope or Mechanical Seal is provided for rotary joint. The product solidifies and after completion of rotation of drum scrapped off the drum surface to form flakes.

 

·        Cooling drums and other feed contact parts: They can be decided as per constituent  properties of feed product & choice of end user. In case of process requirement the cooling drum can be chrome plated.

 

·        Material of construction of contact parts: Carbon steel, SS 304, SS 316, SS 316 L , others upon request
