Description:

The Used AVA-Holland Merten HTK 200 Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryer is a high-performance drying system, designed for low-temperature, high-efficiency vacuum drying applications. Constructed with 316Ti stainless steel contact surfaces, this dryer ensures corrosion resistance and durability in chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial material processing.

With a total capacity of 8.3 cubic feet (235 liters) and a working capacity of 5.5 cubic feet (156.66 liters), this double-jacketed vacuum dryer provides efficient heat transfer and uniform drying. The heated agitator shaft (driven at 107 RPM via a gearbox and a 5.5 kW explosion-proof motor) ensures continuous mixing, improving drying efficiency and preventing material build-up.

The unit is rated for full vacuum and 45 PSI (-1/3 bar) internally, while the jacket operates at 90 PSI (6 bar), making it suitable for vacuum drying, solvent recovery, and temperature-sensitive materials.

Equipped with a Maier heating system for the shaft, a mechanical seal, and a frame-mounted design, this unit is a turnkey solution for vacuum drying in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food production industries.
