Twin shell and double cone dryers are both tumble dryers, meaning they rotate the product inside a sealed, inclined vessel. This gentle tumbling motion exposes all particles to the heated vessel walls for even drying, while preventing product degradation. These dryers are particularly effective in vacuum drying applications, where lowering the pressure allows moisture to evaporate at reduced temperatures — ideal for heat-sensitive materials.

Industries and materials best suited for twin shell and double cone dryers include:

• Pharmaceuticals such as active ingredients and intermediates
