This product can indirectly heat or cool paste, granular, powdered, and slurry materials, and can complete unit operations such as drying, cooling, heating, sterilization, reaction, and low-temperature combustion. The special wedge-shaped stirring heat transfer blade in the equipment has high heat transfer efficiency and self-cleaning function of the heat transfer surface.

Wedge shaped hollow blades are densely arranged on the hollow shaft, and the heat medium flows through the blades through the hollow shaft. The heat transfer area within a unit effective volume is large, and the temperature of the heat medium ranges from -40 ℃ to 320 ℃. It can be steam or liquid, such as hot water, thermal oil, etc. Indirect conduction heating does not carry away heat with air, and the heat is used to heat the material. The heat loss is only the heat dissipation to the environment through the insulation layer of the device body. The wedge-shaped blade heat transfer surface has self-cleaning function. The relative motion between the material particles and the wedge-shaped surface produces a scrubbing effect, which can wash away the attached material on the wedge-shaped surface and maintain a clean heat transfer surface during operation. The shell of the blade dryer is Ω - shaped, and generally two to four hollow mixing shafts are arranged inside the shell. The shell has sealed end caps and upper caps to prevent material dust leakage and fully exert its function.

The blade dryer has low energy consumption: due to indirect heating, it does not carry a large amount of air to take away heat. The outer wall of the dryer is also equipped with an insulation layer. For slurry materials, only 1.2kg of water vapor is needed to evaporate 1kg of water.
The blade dryer system has low cost: it has a huge heat transfer surface per unit effective volume, which shortens processing time and reduces equipment size. This greatly reduces the building area and space.
It can operate continuously or intermittently and can be applied in many fields.
Low environmental pollution: No use of portable air, minimal dust and material entrainment. The solvent evaporation of the material is very small, making it easy to handle. For materials that are contaminated or require solvent recovery, closed-loop circulation can be used.

The paddle dryer has been successfully used in fields such as food, chemical, petrochemical, dye, and industrial sludge. The characteristics of heat transfer, cooling, and stirring of the equipment enable it to perform the following unit operations: combustion (low temperature), cooling, drying (solvent recovery), heating (melting), reaction, and sterilization. The stirring blade is also a heat transfer surface, which increases the heat transfer area per unit effective volume and shortens the processing time. The wedge-shaped blade heat transfer surface also has self-cleaning function. The compression expansion mixing function ensures uniform mixing of materials. The material moves in a 'piston flow' along the axial direction, and within the axial range, the temperature, humidity, and mixing gradient of the material are very small. Low temperature combustion can be achieved by using thermal oil as the heat medium in a blade dryer. For example, calcium sulfate dihydrate (Ca2SO4 · 2H2O) is burned and converted into calcium sulfate hemihydrate (Ca2SO4 · 1/22H2O). Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is converted into pure alkali (Na2HCO3) through calcination. Cooling media such as water, cooling salt water, etc. can be used for cooling. For example, the blade type cooling alkali machine used in the soda ash industry replaces the old-fashioned air-cooled cooling alkali machine, saving energy and exhaust gas treatment equipment, and reducing operating costs.
