Drum Flaker Manufacturers in India
Mathesis Engineers are the leading Drum Flaker Manufacturers in India, delivering reliable and customized solutions for processing liquid products to obtain solid flakes. It is a continuous process to cool an incoming molten product by applying it in a thin layer to a revolving drum on which the material cools, solidifies, and is flaked.
Drum Flakers are utilized in food, chemical, environmental, and pharmaceutical applications for products such as acetic acid, calcium chloride, caustic soda, edible oils, fatty acids, polyethylene glycol, stearic acid, waxes, and zinc stearate.
Continuous Contact Solidification in Process Industries
A Drum Flaker consists of a rotating drum with a cooling liquid sprayed on the inside and an applicator by which the product-specific application method applies the molten product to the drum surface. Standard application methods include a dip feed pan (usually used for low-viscosity products), an applicator roll (usually used for heat-sensitive products), or an agitator roll (usually used for super-cooling products).
The solidified product is 100% removed from the drum surface by a rigid knife bar assembly. Precision construction and machining assure uniform, efficient heat transfer across the entire cooling surface. Standard drum materials of construction can range from cast iron to stainless steel and Hastelloy, built to comply with ASME standards.
Enclosures specifically suited for dust containment or toxic vapor containment are provided, with nitrogen purging available for sensitive materials. Due to various types of products and operating environments, almost all aspects of a drum flaker's mechanical design, operating components, and ancillary equipment are customizable to meet individual application needs.
Types of Drum Flakers
Being leading Drum Flaker Manufacturers, we provide below types and feeding configurations of Drum Flakers:
Engineering, Pilot-Run Testing & Scale-Up
Being leading Drum Flaker Manufacturers, we at Mathesis Engineers design the drum flakers as required by the product specification and process, and then take pilot-runs, which give us reliable empirical data to scale up for the correct flaker configuration and drum surface area to meet each individual process design application.
The drum length of any given drum diameter can be adjusted for exact cooling surface area requirements to meet and balance upstream (molten liquid) process and downstream (flaked solid) capacity design.
Cooling drums require precision construction and machining to assure uniform, efficient heat transfer. Standard drum materials of construction can range from cast iron to stainless steel and Hastelloy, built in strict compliance with ASME standards.
