Various data points are measured during the rotary dryer feasibility tests conducted in FEECO’s Innovation Center, with the most common being:
- Inlet and outlet moisture content of the material.
- Inlet and outlet material temperature.
- Material feed rate.
- Residence time.
- Inlet process air temperature.
- Outlet gas parameters.
The factors noted above are tracked, analyzed, and then adjusted, as needed, throughout the drying process. The ability to measure such data points before, during, and after feasibility testing allows us to reach the ideal end product characteristics of the material being processed.
Feasibility testing is a valuable component to the design of a new industrial drying system, or the improvement of an existing system. For more in-depth information, read our blog post Feasibility Testing in the FEECO Lab: Thermal Processing, or contact us today!
