Dryers and reactors for high-temperature processes

High temperature

> 400°C

High temperature (> 400°C)

Whether calcination of minerals, battery production and recycling or pyrolysis of plastics and biomass - high-temperature processes are essential for numerous industrial applications. The decisive factors here are the highest quality standards, maximum energy efficiency and reduced emissions.

However, conventional systems such as kilns or rotary kilns reach their limits here. They consume a lot of energy and offer only limited control over temperature and process parameters. Our innovative contact drying system sets new standards here: it enables efficient treatment of filter cakes, sludges and bulk materials - and can be perfectly integrated into a wide range of process chains.

Benefits at a glance:

Heating temperatures of up to 650 degrees Celsius
Special high-temperature steels for high temperatures
Precise control of treatment time, pressure and required product temperature
Higher product quality with less rejects
Low emissions

All in one system: mixing, vaporizing & reacting

BHS-Sonthofen is your competent partner for customized horizontal and vertical contact dryers and reactors. Our innovative systems are tailored to your specific requirements and offer maximum flexibility and efficiency - ideal for complex drying, calcination, pyrolysis and reaction processes.

Thanks to the integration of several process steps in a single system, there is no need for additional equipment and interfaces. The result: lower resource consumption, reduced operating costs and significantly optimized production.

Horizontal dryers/reactors: High heat input & optimum mixing

Our horizontal systems are suitable for both continuous and batch processes. Thanks to intensive mixing, they ensure a particularly high heat input, even with highly viscous substances and pasty materials.

Vertical dryers/reactors: Best residual emptying & contamination-proof

Vertical systems offer decisive advantages for sensitive products and frequent batch changes: the shaft seal does not come into contact with the product, which minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.
