Industrial dryer

Industrial dryers are used for efficiently processing large bulks of material that need their respective moisture levels reduced. Depending on the amount and the makeup of material needing to be dried industrial dryers come in many different models constructed specifically for the type and bulk of material needing to be processed. The most common types of industrial dryers are fluidized bed dryers, rotary dryers, rolling bed dryers, pharmaceutical dryers, suspension/paste dryers, and dispersion dryers.^[1]

Applications

Applications of industrial dryers are seemingly endless due to their many variations in process and machine adaption. So far industrial dryers are known to be utilized in drying these materials in their respective categories effectively:

granulates and agglomerates, crystals, powders or else cooling them at the same time as removing dust (“filler removal”), warming, heating or roasting, calcination, agglomeration, accretion granulation or deagglomeration as well as moistening, expanding, chemical reformulation as well as drying of fluids such as suspensions or solutions and processing of sludges, pastes, crystal mush and filter cake, hydroxides, pigments, sodium sulphate, potato granulate, zeolites, gypsum, cellulose and other fibers, grass and turf, starch, flour, hydroxides, pigments (powders and slurries), fine catalyst materials, ceramic suspensions, starch suspensions, hydroxide suspensions, silicone oxide suspensions, salt solutions, sludges, inorganic sludges, Inorganic waste water, carbonate powder, titanium dioxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, catalyst materials, glazes, pastes.^[2]
