Instrumentation & Electrics:

• Full Instrumentation Pack: Supports comprehensive control room operation and DCS systems.
• Load Cells: Enable precise in-cycle material weighing before product discharge.
• Variable Speed Drive Electric Motor: Reduces energy consumption and allows gentle "ramp-up" operation.
• Fully Automated with PLC & HMI: Ensures seamless, efficient control of the drying process.

Solvent Recovery System:

• Integrated Solvent Recovery System: Includes a condenser, receiver(s), and a vacuum system for efficient solvent recovery.

Supporting Systems:

• Standalone Thermal Control Unit (TCU): Manages thermal heating and cooling fluid for the heating jacket, especially when plant services are not available.
• Operator Gantry and Staircase: Provides safe and convenient access.
• Material Loading/Vacuum Transfer Charging System: Facilitates efficient material handling.
• Standalone Hot Water Washing Systems: Available in CIP (Clean-In-Place), SIP (Sterilise-In-Place), and WIP (Wash-In-Place) configurations.
• Controlled/Automatic Discharge System: Ensures safe and efficient product discharge.

Safety & Regulatory Compliance:

• ATEX Rated (Explosion Proof) Electrics: Meets all required safety standards.
• Bespoke Guarding Systems: Includes laser beam guarding for enhanced safety.
• Integral Charge/Discharge Barrier Isolator: Fully encloses the equipment with operator half-suit internal access for safe product loading/discharge.
• CE and PED Compliance: Ensures adherence to European safety and quality standards.

Additional Material Options:

• Alternate Materials of Construction: RCVDs can be supplied in materials such as 304, 316, and 316L Stainless Steel, as well as Alloy 20, Alloy 22, and Alloy C276 (Hastelloy C).
• Chemical Resistant Coatings: StanCoat high chemical resistant coating offers a cost-effective solution for processing aggressive substances, suitable for food-grade applications.

S2 Engineering's Rotary Cone Vacuum Dryers (RCVD) offer a range of benefits that enhance drying efficiency and product quality:

• Minimal Product Attrition: Ensures the integrity of the product media during the drying process.
• Efficient Solvent Recovery: Practical design allows for effective solvent recovery, reducing waste.
• Low-Temperature Drying: Highly efficient drying at low temperatures, supported by an integrated heating system.
• Easy Discharge and Cleaning: The conical vessel shape simplifies discharging and cleaning operations.
• Clog-Free Operation: Absence of scrapers, ploughs, scoops, or vanes prevents material clogging, ensuring uniform drying.
• No Cross Contamination: Design eliminates the risk of bearing fluid cross-contaminating the product media.
• Leak-Proof Heating Jacket: Sealed jacket design prevents heat transfer fluid from leaking into the process media.

Industry sectors which use S2 Engineering RCVD's include:

• Pharmaceuticals
• Dyes/dye intermediates
• Inorganic material
• Temperature sensitive materials
