The Turbodry is a horizontal vacuum paddle dryer and reactor designed for products with pseudo-plastic behaviour during the reaction and drying phase, where the product needs to be highly resistant to torque and turbulence.

With the body and shaft completely heated to maximise thermal exchange and the paddles rotating at very high speed near the wall, the Turbodry vacuum paddle dryer reactor causes high turbulence in the product and its continuous renewal in direct thermal exchange with the wall.
