Agitated Thin Film Dryers (ATFD)

Agitated Thin Film Dryers (ATFD) manufactured by MK Industries are designed for efficient drying, evaporation, and concentration of heat-sensitive, viscous, and sticky materials. These dryers operate by spreading the product into a thin, continuously agitated film over a heated surface, enabling rapid heat transfer, short residence time, and uniform drying.

ATFD dryers are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, agro, dyes & pigments, resin, polymer, and specialty process industries, where precise control and product quality are critical.
