Ross vertical cone screw blender/dryers offer vacuum drying for a range of applications in a solid or liquid state, such as powders, granules, pellets, fibers, pastes and slurries. The slow-turning auger screw lifts batch materials upward as it orbits around the conical vessel. The materials then cascade slowly back down into regions opposite the screw. During the drying cycle, hot water, oil or steam is recirculated through the vessel jacket. Available in sizes from 1 through 500 cu. ft., the blender/dryers do not require a bottom support bearing to keep the screw steady.
