Shelf Dryers

McGill AirPressure vacuum shelf dryers are designed for drying materials that must not be agitated or that are processed in small batches. The material is loaded into pans or other containers, which are placed on heated shelves. Standard shelves are designed for 30, 50, or 100 psig, coincidental with full vacuum in the dryer. The heating medium is usually steam or water, but oil or another high-temperature fluid can be used.

   McGill AirPressure offers more than 50 standard sizes of shelf dryers, with shelf areas from 2 to 1,000 square feet. We can also custom design and manufacture a shelf dryer to meet your size requirements. Standard units are rectangular with casings and shelves fabricated from carbon steel, stainless steel, or special alloys. Glass bead blasting and various types of polishing are options for finishing the casings and shelves. A variety of industrial coatings including Plasite, Heresite, and Teflon can be applied to the dryer internals.
