Explore countless “cold drying” applications tailored to your needs, available upon request or for comprehensive testing. Reach out to us for further details and to unlock the full spectrum of possibilities.
A few examples of these possibilities are: Pharmaceuticals, Polyethylene Glycols, Waxes, Fatty Acids and other similar substances.

Feed systems

Dip Feed Drum Flaker The most widely used form of the drum flaker, as it is simple and very effective. A film of the molten product is picked up on the surface of the flaker drum as it rotates through a feed tray mounted below. The feed tray is usually heated by steam, thermal oil or electric heating panels.

Drum Flaker with Applicator Roll For products that do not readily adhere to the main flaking drum, an applicator roll may be used. The molten product is picked up by the applicator roll from the tray and applied to the drum. The position and speed of the applicator roll may be used to influence the size and type of flakes produced.

Drum Flaker with Weir Feed Certain products ‘super-cool’ and do not solidify when cooled below their melting point. The weir feed c onfiguration helps to induce crystal formation on the main drum to produce a solid cool flake at the knife.

Drum Flaker with Top Feed The top feed configuration may be used to minimise the time that the molten product remains in the feed area before being applied to the drum. It may also be used for products that do not easily adhere to the drum after solidification as gravity keeps the partially solidified product in contact with the cooled drum.
