Industry Applications

Product Details - Drum Flaker

Drum Flakers, also known as flaker machines or rotating drum flakers, play a crucial role in chemical manufacturing plants for converting molten liquids to solid flakes. At Tech-Mech Engineers, we offer durable, reliable, and automated Drum Flakers that run 24/7 to ensure uninterrupted production. Our flakers are available in various specifications and can be further customized to meet your specific requirements, with sizes ranging from 0.75 sq.m to 25 sq.m and materials including camphor.

Our experienced professionals design the Drum Flakers using high-quality components and advanced technology to ensure efficient and reliable performance. We provide pneumatically operated blades, knockers, control valves, and a fully functional electrical panel for a plug-and-play system. We also offer after-sales service and commissioning at the site to ensure hassle-free operation.

At Tech-Mech Engineers, we understand the importance of uninterrupted production in chemical plants. Therefore, we have a trial machine at our factory to optimize the size and kg/hr output for your material, ensuring zero downtime for your production. Once all operating parameters are set, our Drum Flaker guarantees flawless production of every single batch. Choose Tech-Mech Engineers for customized and reliable Drum Flakers that meet your specific needs.

In addition to manufacturing customized drum flakers, we also provide after-sales support and commissioning services at the site.

The drum flaker is a continuous process equipment used for converting molten liquid to solid flakes in chemical manufacturing plants. It operates by dipping the external surface of a rotating drum into molten liquid while continuously spraying the internal drum surface with a cooling medium. The cooling medium cools the internal surface of the drum and the molten product by conduction, causing it to solidify. The solid material obtained from this process is then scraped on the other side with a suitable scrapping knife edge, resulting in random size flakes that are sufficiently cool enough to be handled manually.

The drum flaker is designed with a completely enclosed and covered structure, which prevents any dust from being introduced into the product. This also ensures the safety of the operator from fumes and heat. The water collected during the cooling process is removed using the air siphoning principle.

This efficient process ensures continuous production with minimum manual intervention, ensuring maximum output and minimal downtime. The drum flaker is designed for durability, with top-quality components and materials used in its construction. Its customizable features allow it to be tailored to meet the specific requirements of any chemical manufacturing plant, making it an ideal end-of-line equipment for phase conversion of molten liquid to solid flakes.
