Engineered precision for Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryer.
Kerone’s rotary vacuum paddle dryer are developed with over 50 years of engineering excellence, providing advanced drying solutions tailored for chemical, pharmaceutical, and agro-industrial sectors. These dryers operate under vacuum conditions to enable low-temperature moisture removal, protecting material properties and improving drying efficiency. Each unit is designed for consistent performance, ensuring uniform drying, energy efficiency, and reduced processing time.
A Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryer is a batch or continuous industrial drying system that combines the gentle mixing action of rotating paddles with the low-temperature drying capability of vacuum operation, enabling effective drying of heat-sensitive, solvent-laden, or easily oxidized materials at significantly reduced temperatures compared to atmospheric drying. The paddles mounted on the central rotating shaft continuously turn over the material bed, exposing fresh surfaces to the heated vessel walls and distributing heat uniformly throughout the product, while the vacuum system rapidly removes the evaporated moisture or solvent vapors from the drying chamber. These dryers are particularly valued in pharmaceutical manufacturing, fine chemical production, food ingredient processing, and polymer drying where product quality and solvent recovery are paramount.
Our advanced AI, ML, and IoT technologies, this solution delivers smarter automation, real-time insights, and predictive intelligence to enhance efficiency and drive future-ready growth.
Continuous tracking of process parameters with instant adjustments.
Intelligent fault detection to prevent failures before they occur.
The thermodynamic architecture of our Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryer incorporates advanced thermal modeling and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to ensure optimal heat and mass transfer across the entire processing zone. By precisely controlling thermal gradients, air velocity profiles, and direct energy delivery mechanisms, the system achieves uniform treatment while preventing localized overheating, product degradation, or thermal stress. This balance of intensive heat transfer and controlled retention time ensures maximum operational throughput with minimal specific energy consumption.
Built with heavy-duty structural engineering and sanitary metallurgy, each unit is manufactured to withstand continuous 24/7 industrial operating conditions. Contact surfaces are finished in high-grade stainless steel (SS 304, SS 316L, or corrosion-resistant alloys) with sanitary mirror-polish options, CIP/SIP washdown provisions, and hermetic chamber sealing. This guarantees full compliance with stringent international hygiene, CE machinery directives, and cGMP standards across food, pharmaceutical, specialty chemical, and heavy manufacturing applications.
Proprietary control algorithms ensure strict process repeatability, while built-in safety interlocks and electromagnetic shielding comply with international CE and OSHA standards. Full process development support — including material loss tangent testing, moisture sorption isotherms, and pilot trials at our Ambernath R&D facility — ensures the selected technology matches your exact industrial throughput goals.

Since 1976, Kerone Engineering Solutions has delivered over 5,000 custom-engineered thermal and process installations across 50+ countries. In technical collaboration with premier global institutions like CSIR-CEERI and University of Nottingham research partnerships, we design and manufacture high-efficiency machinery that minimizes production downtime and cuts operating expenses.
Unlike standard off-the-shelf equipment suppliers, Kerone operates a complete pilot-scale testing facility at our KRDC Ambernath center. We validate your exact raw material properties — determining moisture sorption isotherms, specific heat capacity, and dielectric behavior — before finalizing equipment sizing, ensuring zero risk during industrial scale-up.

Powered by AI, Machine Learning & Smart IoT Integration
Modern industrial processing requires unprecedented thermal precision, energy efficiency, and operational agility. Kerone equips each system with high-speed industrial edge computing controllers, multi-spectral non-contact infrared pyrometry, and proprietary closed-loop machine learning algorithms that continuously analyze process parameters in real time.
The intelligent automation stack monitors dynamic changes in incoming material load, bed thickness, moisture content, and environmental factors. In response, our algorithms dynamically adjust heater power arrays, generator frequency, conveyor drive velocities, and exhaust dampers within milliseconds — entirely eliminating product burn, under-processing, or thermal hotspotting.
Seamlessly integrated with factory-wide SCADA and enterprise ERP architectures via native MQTT, OPC-UA, and Modbus TCP protocols, our systems deliver complete digital recipe control, remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance alerting, and tamper-evident batch logs compliant with global FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and cGMP standards.

The use of vacuum technology significantly reduces drying time and energy consumption.
Yes, Kerone’s systems can be equipped with condensers for solvent recovery.
Kerone designs its dryers with robust materials ensuring longevity and consistent operation.
The paddles constantly break up, mix, and move the material against the heated walls of the vessel, maximizing surface contact and heat transfer.
The vacuum lowers the boiling point of the moisture, allowing it to evaporate at much lower temperatures to protect heat sensitive products.
The equipment features large access doors and can be fitted with clean in place nozzles that automatically wash the interior with solvents or water.
The paddles are designed with specific angles that create a self wiping effect as they rotate, scraping material off the vessel walls and each other.
The vacuum line is connected to a chilled condenser and receiver tank that captures and turns the vapor back into liquid for reuse or safe disposal.
The discharge is automated. The paddles are reversed to push the dried powder towards a bottom discharge valve for easy collection.
