This Apex Granupex GR 311-565 - T is an industrial tumble dryer — also referred to as a tumbler dryer — designed for the drying of granular and bulk solid materials under controlled conditions, including under vacuum. Apex is the manufacturer of the condenser unit included with this machine, suggesting a close integration between the drying vessel and its ancillary equipment. The machine is located in Barneveld, Netherlands, and dates from 1998.
The dryer vessel itself is fabricated from stainless steel grade ), offering good corrosion resistance for process-sensitive materials. It has a total volume of 565 litres and is rated for bulk densities up to 1.2 g/cc, giving a working capacity in the range of 450 to 565 litres. The cylindrical drum measures approximately 800 mm in diameter with a cylindrical length of around 1,200 mm. The inlet has a diameter of 460 mm and the outlet 200 mm. The drum is fitted with a jacket — also constructed in stainless steel — rated to a working pressure of 2.5 bar, allowing heating or cooling media to be circulated for temperature control of the drying process. The vessel itself operates at 0 bar, and vacuum operation is supported.
Rotation of the drum is provided by a braking motor rated at 11.0 kW, 400/690 volt, with a variable dryer speed range of 5.5 to 17.5 rpm. A lump breaker in the form of a "Liquid Dispersion Bar" is fitted, capable of running at up to 2,000 rpm to break down agglomerates during the drying cycle. A separate 11.0 kW motor rated at 380–415 volt is also specified in the seller's notes.
The package includes a PIAB MLL-400 vacuum pump to support vacuum drying, an Apex type 61A condenser, and a switchgear cabinet with overall dimensions of 100 × 400 × 150 cm. The machine is offered in used condition.
