Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) Systems

Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD)

The ideal solution for handling concentrated effluents, the Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) facilitates Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD).

Offers high heat transfer efficiency for rapid, effective drying of sludge or concentrated brine.
Perfectly suitable for heat-sensitive and viscous materials.
Compact, robust, and easy-to-operate design minimizing footprint.

Enhance your sludge drying process and ensure full ZLD compliance with our specialized ATFD systems.

Frequently asked questions

Are you an agitated thin film dryer manufacturer in India?

We deliver agitated thin film dryers in India as a turnkey supplier rather than a fabrication shop - the ATFD is designed by us and built to our drawings at qualified fabricators under our inspection, with commissioning and performance guarantee from us. Buyers searching for an agitated thin film dryer manufacturer generally want that single point of accountability.

What does an ATFD system supplier need to know before quoting?

As an ATFD system supplier we need the feed rate, solids content, salt composition, thermal sensitivity and the moisture level you need in the discharged solid. Fouling behaviour matters more than throughput for sizing.

Where does ATFD sit in a ZLD train?

At the end. The evaporator concentrates the stream; the ATFD takes that concentrate to a handleable dry solid so nothing leaves the site as liquid.

Can an ATFD handle sticky or scaling salts?

That is what it is for. The wiped film keeps the heated surface clear, which is why it succeeds on feeds that foul a conventional dryer.

Benefits or Features
