For versatile, high-efficiency drying and mixing in a compact footprint, spherical dryers offer an innovative solution across numerous industries. Backed by over 47 years of process expertise, IPP maintains one of the world’s largest inventories of ready-to-ship equipment, with 20 complete plant sites and 15,000+ pieces of process equipment — including high-quality used spherical dryers available now.
Spherical dryers feature a round vessel designed to optimize heat transfer while enabling uniform mixing and drying. Their design promotes even product movement with gentle agitation, making them ideal for sensitive materials that could degrade under more aggressive mixing. Many spherical dryers also operate under vacuum, lowering the boiling point of moisture to enable low-temperature drying — a critical benefit for pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, and food ingredients.
Among the industries that rely on spherical dryers:
Spherical dryers are available in several materials to meet sanitary, chemical, and heat-resistant requirements:
