Engineered for the world’s most efficient Zero Liquid Discharge.
Mazda ATFD delivers reliable drying with maximum recovery and minimum waste.
Specialized thin-film drying technology designed for high-viscosity and heat-sensitive products.
Proven solution for ZLD and wastewater minimization.
Product Overview
Mazda’s Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) is a highly efficient system engineered for Zero Liquid Discharge and effluent recycling. Designed to handle high-viscosity, heat-sensitive, and concentrated slurries, the ATFD spreads the feed as a thin film over a heated surface using a rotor with special blades. The thin film ensures rapid evaporation and drying, leaving behind only solids, powders, or flakes. With its robust design, compact footprint, and ability to process challenging streams, Mazda ATFD has become a trusted solution for industries striving toward sustainability, efficiency, and compliance with environmental standards.
The feed enters the ATFD and is distributed as a thin film over the heated surface by a high-speed rotor with specialized blades. The thin film promotes rapid heat transfer, causing water or solvents to evaporate quickly. Vapors are removed through a vacuum system, while the concentrated solids are continuously discharged in dry form.

An Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) is a drying system designed to process high-viscosity, heat-sensitive, and concentrated slurries. It spreads the feed into a thin film over a heated surface using a rotor with specialized blades, allowing rapid evaporation and drying.
The feed enters the ATFD and is distributed as a thin film across the heated surface by a high-speed rotor. The thin film provides rapid heat transfer, causing water or solvents to evaporate. Vapors are removed through a vacuum system, while the remaining concentrated material is continuously discharged as solids, powders, or flakes.
ATFD systems are used for drying concentrated slurries, minimizing wastewater, recovering solids, and supporting Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) processes. They are particularly useful where the feed has high viscosity or is difficult to process using conventional drying methods.
Yes. ATFD technology is specifically designed to handle high-viscosity and concentrated slurries. The rotor and specialized blades spread the feed into a thin film, allowing effective heat transfer and evaporation even with challenging feed streams.
Yes. Mazda's ATFD is designed to process heat-sensitive materials. The thin-film configuration promotes rapid heat transfer and evaporation, supporting efficient drying of challenging materials.
An ATFD can be used as a final drying stage in a ZLD process. It evaporates the remaining water or solvent from concentrated streams and continuously discharges the residual material in dry form, helping minimize or eliminate liquid discharge.
Depending on the feed and process conditions, an ATFD can produce dry solids, powders, or flakes after evaporation and drying.
Yes. In Mazda's ATFD system, vapors are removed through a vacuum system during the drying process. This supports continuous evaporation while the concentrated solids are discharged from the system.
Key advantages include Zero Liquid Discharge capability, handling of high-viscosity and heat-sensitive materials, rapid heat transfer, dry solids recovery, compact construction, continuous operation, and low maintenance requirements.
Mazda Limited manufactures Agitated Thin Film Dryer systems designed for ZLD, effluent recycling, wastewater minimization, and challenging concentrated streams. Its ATFD technology combines thin-film drying, mechanical agitation, vacuum operation, and continuous solids discharge in a compact industrial system.
