Sectors

Dryers and coolersWe are experts in industrial drying and cooling. For over 45 years, we have designed, manufactured and installed dryers and coolers for a broad range of applications, continuously improving our technology.

Our goal is to provide drying and cooling solutions with very high availability rates which allow us, at the same time, to ensure the product quality desired by our customers. Because our equipment is tailor-made, our solutions are optimized from the energy consumption, maintenance cost and environmental impact perspectives.

FlashThe Ingetecsa Flash Dryers and Coolers stand out for their excellent product treatment, low energy consumption, and minimal operation and maintenance costs.

Our Flash Dryers/Coolers are adapted to each process and different product properties. In addition, Ingetecsa has engineered distinguishing constructive components, such as a centrifuge feeder, as well as a particularly refined aerodynamic design. This arrangement ensures an outstanding dispersion of the product with relatively low pressure drops, minimizing energy consumption. Heat and mass transfer between solids and hot gases is extremely rapid.

Fluidised BedIngetecsa’s static fluidised beds are engineered to produce high evaporation rates with relatively short residence times. Since there are no moving parts and particles don’t touch each other, an extremely careful mechanical treatment can be ensured. This equipment offers significant process flexbility and adaptability.

Our tailor-made fluidised beds allow for a variety of arrangements and combinations with other equipment. According to the customer’s requirements, Ingetecsa can supply a wide range of fluidised bed combinations: air-tight, expanded, self-emptying, ATEX, solvent-recovering, with internal exchangers, multi-stage, equipped with combined drying and cooling areas, among others.

Belt DryerThe Ingetecsa Belt Dryers are characterised by the absence of dead zones and total accessibility for their maintenance and cleaning. Multiple types of belts, cleaning systems, feed systems, etc. allow us to offer customised solutions.

Our equipments has outstanding thermal efficiency thanks to internal gas re-circulation. The dryer can be subdivided into multiple climatic zones, individually adjustable, so that perfect control of the profiles of heating and drying speeds of the product is achieved.

Rotary DrumsEasy to operate, the Ingetecsa Rotary Drums have a simple and robust design that adapts gently to fluctuations in flow and product properties. According to process requirements, rotary dryers can work with direct as well as indirect heating.

The internal equipment is capable of adapting to the product rheology, distributing it homogeneously and achieving maximum capacity while avoiding obstructions. This results in an optimised heat and mass transfer. We offer a wide range of feeding, metering, sealing, and conveying elements, which connect the integral apparatus of a specific processing arrangement.

Multi-Chamber CoolerIngetecsa’s Multi-Chamber Cooler is capable of cooling big flows, handling product temperatures of up to 1000°C. It withstands high temperature differences and absorbs fluctuations in product flow and properties. This multi-chamber cooler is a rotary drum which is sub-divided into sections where the product flows surrounded by a water chamber. Thanks to the effects of rotation, the product is transported and simultaneously thin layers of water are distributed over the cooling surfaces. This sophisticated water conveyance, as well as the design of the product chambers, allow for the use of non-refractory fabrication materials. Cooling is achieved by water at atmospheric pressure. The cooler admits inertization.

Spiral FlashThe Spiral Flash Dryer developed by Torftech is a highly efficient convective dryer which combines the advantages of a flash dryer with those of a fluidised bed. Short residence times combined with powerful turbulent flows ensure gentle product treatment, in addition to high evaporation speeds. Furthermore, it is possible to build exceptionally compact units thanks to the fast heat and mass transfer.

The Spiral Flash Dryer has further outstanding specifications: total absence of moving parts, easy maintenance, precise process control, and good thermal efficiency with heterogeneous products as well.

Drying Cooling

Rotary Steam Tube Bundle DryerThe specialised design of this equipment offers large interior drying surfaces and optimal heat transfer rates between the thermal fluid and the product.

In comparison with conventional rotary drums, the great advantage of the tube bundle dryer consists in the fact that no heating gas comes in direct contact with the product. Nearly all the steam expelled from the dryer consists of water evaporated from the product. This greatly reduces the flow of exhaust fumes and therefore investment in gas purifying equipment. This aspect is even more relevant when dealing with particularly odorous or harmful components for which an expensive wet gas washing/treatment is necessary.

Exhaust Gas TreatmentAt Ingetecsa, we have developed de-dusting equipment of high efficiency. This equipment is essential for the proper operation of convective dryers. Our engineering department has dedicated great efforts to improving its designs and has now achieved excellent results.

The Ingetecsa cyclones can capture particles of a very fine size which normally require more complex and expensive equipment. The Venturi Gas Washer of Ingetecsa is designed for the washing of gases of industrial applications in severe conditions and is robust and easy-maintenance equipment.

High Efficiency CyclonesDue to their constructive simplicity, low cost and robustness, cyclones are the mostly-used dust collection equipments. They can operate at any temperature, are fire resistant and require no maintenance.

For more than 45 years, Ingetecsa has been gaining experience in industrial and pilot plants, enabling us to develop continuous improvements of our cyclones by optimising their geometry. Our simulation models allow us to accurately predict the fractional yield outcomes according to the properties of the gas and the dust to be separated. This way we can guarantee surprisingly high yields with relatively low pressure drops.

Venturi gas WasherThe Ingetecsa Venturi Gas Washer is used for dust separation, chemical reaction or destruction of unwanted compounds as well as for condensation of fumes. Highly efficient gas washer recommended for dust separation. Our special design differentiates saturation and condensation areas, creating a cyclonic effect during mist elimination. Due to the concentric layout of the nozzle and shell, Ingetecsa Venturi Gas Washers are particularly compact.

Multiple adjustable parametersensure operation under almost anyprocess conditions. Efficient, robustand compact design.
