Engineered precision for Vacuum Paddle Dryer.
Kerone’s vacuum paddle dryer are developed with over 50 years of engineering excellence, providing advanced drying solutions tailored for chemical, pigment, and fertilizer industries. 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 Vacuum Paddle Dryer is an industrial drying system that uses internal rotating paddles within a jacketed vessel operating under reduced pressure to achieve efficient, gentle, and low-temperature drying of pastes, wet cakes, granules, powders, and viscous materials. The combination of vacuum and paddle agitation provides a powerful drying mechanism: the vacuum reduces the boiling point of moisture and solvents, enabling rapid evaporation at low product temperatures, while the paddles continuously mix and expose fresh product surfaces to the heated vessel walls, maintaining high heat transfer rates throughout the drying cycle. Vacuum paddle dryers are essential processing equipment in pharmaceutical, fine chemical, polymer, food ingredient, and agrochemical manufacturing where product temperature and purity must be carefully managed.
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 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.
