CTD series (dryer)

Overview

The CTD series (dryer) is a tower dryer for cut tobacco and cut stems expansion and drying and is categorized under TECHNOLOGY: Expansion & Drying. COMAS's CTD is a closed re-circulation loop air dryer that provides accelerated drying using superheated steam in a low oxygen environment. The process gas is heated using an indirect heat exchanger of tubular construction, heated in turn by a gas/oil fired burner. The tower design uses a compact tower height to minimise the need to access components at high level, with most of our drying towers being less than 7.0m tall, and product is discharged through a tangential separator fitted with a rotary airlock to allow gentle handling without passing through a cyclone. The CTD can process flows from 500 - 10,000 kg/h of Cut Lamina and 500 - 4,000 kg/h of CRS. The CTD series is intended for expansion and drying of cut tobacco and cut stems and is specified for the Nicotine Delivery Systems industry and the Tobacco Cut Rag segment. It can process flows of 500 - 10,000 kg/h for Cut Lamina and 500 - 4,000 kg/h for CRS while operating as a closed re-circulation loop air dryer using superheated steam in a low oxygen environment.
