Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD)
Engineered for effective solvent recovery and high-performance sludge drying with minimal energy consumption.
Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) Manufacturer in India
The Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) plays a critical role in final solid waste generation in ZLD systems. It converts concentrated slurry into dry powder form.
Advanced Drying for Industrial Demands.
The Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) plays a critical role in final solid waste generation in Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems. It efficiently converts concentrated slurry into dry powder form, enabling safe disposal or further processing.
At Vikrama Innovative Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (VZLD), we design and manufacture high-performance ATFD systems engineered for continuous operation, superior heat transfer efficiency, and reliable industrial drying performance.
What is an Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD)?
An ATFD is a mechanically agitated, vertical thin film drying system specially designed to handle high-viscosity, sticky, and heat-sensitive materials. The feed slurry is distributed as a thin film over a heated surface by rotating blades, allowing rapid evaporation with minimal residence time.
This ensures:
- Efficient moisture removal
- Uniform drying
- Reduced thermal degradation
- Consistent dry powder output
ATFD Product Range
We manufacture Agitated Thin Film Dryers from 0.5 m² to 40 m² heat transfer area, suitable for pilot-scale to large industrial applications.
✔ 0.5 m² – 2 m² (Lab & Small Scale)
✔ 5 m² – 15 m² (Medium Capacity)
✔ 20 m² – 40 m² (Large Industrial Systems)
Custom-built designs are available as per process requirements.
Key Highlights
- Efficient drying with minimal residence time
• Handles high-viscosity materials
• Compact footprint
• Continuous operation capability

- Agrochemical industries
- Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP)
- Solvent recovery processes
How ATFD Works in ZLD Systems
In ZLD applications, the Multi Effect Evaporator (MEE) concentrates the effluent into slurry form. The ATFD then dries the concentrated slurry into solid powder, reducing liquid waste and enabling complete water recovery.
This combination ensures:
- Maximum water recovery
- Reduced waste volume
- Environmental compliance
- Sustainable industrial operation
