BACHILLER Barcelona

BACHILLER Barcelona is an industrial engineering provider of design and construction services for process equipment across the offshore, mining, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

BACHILLER Barcelona can provide a range of high-quality equipment and solutions for diverse processes such as pressure filtration (Nutsche filters) and vacuum drying.

Customised offshore process equipment

BACHILLER Barcelona’s engineering department and test laboratory allow the company to collaborate with clients to custom-design solutions and new processes. Working with the research and development (R&D) department, BACHILLER Barcelona is constantly creating products to optimise their performance.

All equipment is designed and manufactured in-house, with monitoring being carried out during the complete process, from the calculation and design, steel construction and welding procedures, machining and polishing to explosion, inflammability, high-pressure and vacuum tightness assurance.

BACHILLER’s Nutsche filters and vacuum dryers are designed for a range of offshore applications.

The Nutsche filters and dryers are ideal for processes that are best treated in hermetic equipment.

The Supramix-S uses a heated vertical mixing spiral for constant renewal of the product in contact with the heated walls.

The Supramix-S is a vertical ribbon vacuum dryer with an optimised heating surface.

Bicuum is a double cone rotary vacuum dryer for ultra-vacuum drying.

Bicuum is suitable for a range of moist, crystalline and amorphous thermo-sensitive products.

The Conical is a vertical conical screw vacuum dryer, comprising a fully conical vertical vessel with a vertical screw mixing system.

BACHILLER designs and manufactures all offshore process equipment in-house.

BACHILLER has an extensive network of representatives and local partners across 25 countries.

Paddledry is designed for products with pseudo-plastic behaviour and high torque requirements.

Bicuum is a double cone rotary vacuum dryer for ultra-vacuum drying.

BACHILLER Barcelona can also provide on-site services such as assembly superstition, start-up and training, commissioning and process performance operations.

Agitated Nutsche filter

BACHILLER Barcelona’s Nutsche Filter (FNB) and Nutsche Filter Dryer (FNB-S) are designed for solid-liquid separation processes by filtration under pressure. They are suitable for use across offshore, mining, chemical and pharmaceutical applications.

The dryer version allows for the filter cake to be dried without product transfer to other equipment for processes with hazardous or toxic products or potential for cross-contamination, which can be treated in hermetic equipment.

Vacuum dryer for offshore applications

BACHILLER Barcelona designs and manufactures one of the largest ranges of vacuum dryers available, providing optimal solutions for each type of process.

The vacuum dryers are designed to meet the unique requirements of the offshore, mining, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as guarantee that product is dried and respected.

Vertical ribbon vacuum dryer with optimised heating surface

BACHILLER Barcelona’s Supramix-S (MVC-S) is a vertical ribbon vacuum dryer, featuring a maximised heating surface for drying various thermo-sensitive wet, crystalline, amorphous or paste products with a total vacuum.

This dryer comprises a heated vertical mixing spiral, rotating at moderate speed to achieve an upward flow of perimeter product and constant renewal of product in contact with heated walls.

Horizontal vacuum paddle dryer and reactor

BACHILLER Barcelona’s Turbodry (MHT-RS) horizontal vacuum paddle dryer and reactor is designed for products with pseudo-plastic behaviour during the reaction and / or drying phase, where the product needs to be agitated with high torque and turbulence.

The body and shaft of the Turbodry are fully heated to optimise thermal exchange, as well as the paddles rotating at very high speeds near the wall.

With the body and shaft completely heated to maximise thermal exchange and the paddles rotating at very high speed near the wall, the Turbodry vacuum paddle dryer reactor causes high turbulence in the product and its continuous renewal in direct thermal exchange with the wall, enhancing the drying process.

Double cone vacuum dryer for offshore applications

BACHILLER Barcelona’s Bicuum (MBC-S) double cone rotary vacuum dryer can be used in ultra-vacuum drying applications for a range of moist, crystalline and amorphous thermos-sensitive products.

This vacuum dryer comprises a fully heated and insulated drum that rotates at low speeds while being subjected to a strong vacuum that continuously rotates the product in contact with the hot walls.

Horizontal vacuum paddle dryer

The Paddledry (MHT-S) horizontal vacuum paddle dryer is a high-efficiency tool that has been designed for products with pseudo-plastic behaviour during the drying phase, with high torque requirements.

It operates through a body, shaft and blades, fully heated to optimise heat exchange. The blade rotates close to the wall at a low speed for continuous product renewal in direct exchange with the wall.

Vertical conical screw vacuum dryer

BACHILLER Barcelona’s vertical conical screw vacuum dryer (MCV-S) features a sanitary design with an optimised heating surface. It can be used to dry all kinds of moist thermos-sensitive, crystalline, amorphous or paste products.

The conical screw vacuum dryer comprises a fully conical vertical vessel and a vertical screw mixing system, which in turn provides a gentle mechanical treatment for the product and ensures reliable loading capacity.

International certifications and quality assurance

The company’s equipment is designed to work optimally in the most adverse, toxic and hazardous applications where any leakage and degradation cannot be tolerated. Nutsche filters and vacuum dryers can be made in a high range of materials, including austenitic and super austenitic steel, duplex and super duplex, Hastelloy, as well as all grades of nickel alloys and titanium. This ensures that the best possible solution is created for each request.

BACHILLER Barcelona has quality certifications ISO 9001: 2008, U and U2 seal of ASME, HP0 certificate according to AD-2000 Merkblätt, as well as Module H1 according to PED and A2 license according to SQL of the People’s Republic of China. All equipment can be provided with official ATEX certification for category 1 (0/20 zones).

The company operates in more than 25 countries, either directly or through an extensive network of representatives and local partners.
