Yet another innovation by us that promises huge benefits to the process industry. Not a continuous processor exactly as is conventionally understood, but almost one, it is a multi-purpose processor that can handle several unit-operations sequentially. And in each unit-operation mode, the performance of ALPEN^TM UNO-RMFD would be better than the best available in the industry today.

Besides Reaction, Filtration and Drying, the unit also offers additional operational facilities, like drowning, crystallization / precipitation, washing, leaching and solvent recovery. The unit is not only capable of wet milling during reaction, filtration and washing but also performs dry milling during drying operation, giving a final dried product in fine powder form. If required, the final discharge can also be tuned to be in granular form instead of fine powder.

With the Reactor accessories removed, the unit can be used as a Filter-Dryer too. And as a Filter-Dryer, this single-pot processor outperforms the Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer by almost 40%!! In a filter-dryer mode, on a like-to-like basis, the performance of the unit during filtration exceeds the performance of an ANF, including the washing phase. And during drying, the unit outperforms the ANFD by completing the task ( drying ) in half the time, with zero lumps as a bonus.

ALPEN^TM UNO-RMFD is of horizontal configuration. Specially designed agitation system operates over a wide speed range, 1 to 200 RPM. The impeller bank includes scrapers that touch-scrape the shell at slow speed and run retracted at high speed. This option can be automatic or operator-selected from a control panel. The processing chamber comes with a reflux arrangement, with an option for total or partial reflux, facilitating reactions requiring such an accessory. Filter-bag housing, with inert-gas reverse pulse-jet facility for cleaning, is incorporated to trap carry over of fines during drying phase. Mechanical Seals at the end plates, where the shaft enters / exits the processor, are with flushing arrangement; and the design prevents any ingress of foreign particles into the product during operation.
