Pusher centrifuge

The Krauss-Maffei pusher centrifuge is a continuous filtration centrifuge for solid/liquid separation. It is designed to perform reliably and efficiently even under rough process conditions.

Paddle dryer

The ANDRITZ Gouda paddle dryer is a fully enclosed machine that guarantees safe handling of food products and can be customized to meet your needs. Importantly, the machine design offers easy accessibility for cleaning purposes.

Plate dryer

The ANDRITZ plate dryer is used for continuous drying of free-flowing bulk materials. It has been proven in over 400 applications and is available in atmospheric, gas-tight or vacuum configurations. The ANDRITZ plate dryer gently dries sensitive, toxic and solvent-containing products without damage to the environment.

Decanter centrifuge ACZ

The ANDRITZ Decanter Censor ACZ was developed for plastics recycling. Plastics recycling has become much more specialized and so the design of new products must increasingly focus on recycling aspects. New, improved technologies have been developed in response to current concerns about the recycling of products at the end of their lifetime.

Fluid bed dryer

The ANDRITZ fluid bed dryer can be designed as a dryer only, as a cooler only, or as a combination of dryer and cooler. The heat and mass transfer between the fluidization gas and the product is purely convective. The material of construction can range from carbon steel to high-alloy clad carbon steel for parts in contact with the product.

Helix dryer

Gentle and efficient drying is a crucial requirement in modern manufacturing plants. Other demands are maximum flexibility, minimum product loss, contamination-free product handling, and fully automated cleaning. The ANDRITZ Gouda helix dryer has it all. It can be used to dry a wide range of chemical and pharmaceutical products.
