This Lödige TK 160 is a used paddle dryer — sometimes referred to as a contact dryer or paddle processor — designed for the thermal drying, heating, cooling, or conditioning of bulk materials through indirect heat transfer via a jacketed trough and rotating paddle shaft. Lödige is a well-established German manufacturer of mixing, drying, and processing equipment, with a long history of supplying industrial machinery to the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and bulk materials processing industries.
The machine carries serial number 4033 and was built in 2005. It is constructed throughout in stainless steel grade 1.4571 (equivalent to AISI 316Ti), a titanium-stabilised austenitic alloy well suited to corrosive or demanding process environments. The trough has a usable volume of 180 litres and measures 600 mm in diameter by 670 mm in length. The surrounding heating or cooling jacket holds 17 litres of fluid and is rated for a working pressure of 3 bar, with a temperature range of −20 °C to +150 °C, giving the unit broad process flexibility across both heating and chilling duties.
The rotating paddle shaft is driven by a 5.3 kW motor and is variable across a speed range of 30 to 250 rpm, allowing the mixing and conveying intensity to be matched to the product being processed. The machine is also fitted with a lump breaker, which helps to break up agglomerates formed during drying and ensures a more uniform discharge. Material enters through a 110 × 110 mm inlet and discharges through a DN200 outlet. A 370 × 340 mm inspection door (manhole) provides access to the trough interior for cleaning and inspection.
The unit is mounted on its own structural frame and has a floor footprint of 3.2 × 1.0 m with a total installed height of 2.65 m. Switchgear is included with the machine, supplied as-is. The dryer carries CE marking and is currently located in Barneveld, Netherlands.
