Rotary dryers use rotation, gravity, and hot gases to dry materials. They range from small home dryers to large industrial systems. The drum rotates and moves the material while hot gases dry it. Different gases are used, and there are two types of heating methods: direct and indirect. The most common type is the indirect […]
A grain dryer is used to dry corn and soybeans to prevent rot and mold. It is expensive, so farmers may rent or use a cooperative. While it can be a financial boon for large-scale operations, most farmers try to avoid using it due to the added expense. The dryer uses fans and heaters to […]
A compressor air dryer removes water and contaminants from compressed air systems using refrigeration or desiccant adsorption. It also removes oil droplets and requires a regeneration tank for desiccant. Contaminants must be disposed of safely. A compressor air dryer is a machine that removes water and contaminants from previously compressed air systems. This machine is […]
A belt dryer is a machine used in manufacturing to thermally treat and dry products, commonly used in plastic, wood, and chemical industries. It uses air or gas to dry pastes, cakes, and pellets and can be configured in different ways. The wet product enters through the feed head and travels on a perforated belt […]
Yankee dryers are used in paper manufacturing to dry tissue paper. They are separate from the main dryer, reducing its size and allowing better use of workspace. The dryer can cut and press paper, and uses less energy. Yankee Drying Units are used in paper manufacturing, especially to dry thin sheet tissue paper, for both […]
Drum dryers use steam or hot air to reduce moisture content in raw materials during manufacturing. They have many food industry applications and can be made of cast iron or stainless steel. Different configurations include single, twin, vacuum, and double/triple pass systems. A drum dryer is a rotating cylinder that uses steam or hot air […]
A belt dryer is used to dry fabrics and materials, often screen printed, and is equipped with a motorized transport system, heating chamber, exhaust components, and control system. Specifications such as capacity, power, and tape size and speed are important. Ink on fabric can be dried using a belt dryer, which should be configured for […]
A spray dryer uses a hot gas to produce dry powdered substances from fluid slurries. It has fast drying times and uses various nozzles and gases depending on the product. The process is suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries due to short heating times and can increase productivity and reduce costs. A spray dryer […]
A scrubber dryer is a small-scale mining machine that separates gold and other metals using a dry sorting process. It consists of two containers, a hopper, and a riffle tray, and uses air pressure to blow off light particles while keeping the metals. There are two types of dry cleaning machines: bellows and motor-operated. Dry […]
A fluid bed dryer uses gas or heated air to dry products, with different zones for heating and cooling. The equipment includes a large processing chamber with a perforated plate and a recycling system for greater efficiency. It can be used for granulating or pelletizing materials, and lease or rental options may be available. A […]
