Know more on Drum Flaker Surface Material, Manufacturing Process and applications
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. Cooling 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, steric acid, waxes and zinc stearate. Drum Flaker, Consist of a rotating drum with a cooling liquid sprayed on the inside and an Applicator by which the product specific application method for applying the molten product to the drum surface. The solidified product is 100% removed from the drum surface by ridged knife bar assembly. Cooling drum requires precision construction and machining to assure uniform efficient heat transfer. Standard drum materials of construction can range from cast-iron, to hastelloy and are built to comply with ASME.
Enclosures specifically suited for dust containment or toxic vapor containment are provided Due to various types of products and operating environments, almost all aspects of a drum flaker's mechanical design, operating components and ancillary equipment, surface and drum manufacturing process are customizable to meet individual application needs.
