Drum dryer
Drying
Drum dryers are used for the efficient and continuous drying of bulk materials such as wood chips, sawdust, shavings, grains, sludge, or various types of biomass. Thanks to their robust construction and simple principle, these dryers are ideal for demanding operations with high processing volumes.
The drying principle consists of passing the material through a rotating drum, where it is exposed to a stream of hot air. The material is constantly mixed during the rotation of the drum, resulting in uniform evaporation of moisture. The result is a consistently dried output product with the required moisture content, suitable for further processing, combustion, or storage.
Drum dryers can operate in both direct and indirect heating modes and are equipped with control elements for adjusting the temperature, drum rotation speed, and material retention time. Thanks to these options, the drying process can be precisely adapted to the specific properties of the input material.
