Rotary dryers have been a part of the thermal processing industry for over a century, and have earned their reputation as the industrial drying workhorse. These robust industrial drying systems have become a staple in just about every industry requiring bulk solids to be dried, …
In addition to the many material characteristics that must be considered during the sizing and design stages of engineering a custom rotary dryer, there are also a few operating environment factors to consider as well. Atmosphere Considerations: Humidity Humid air is already moisture-laden, meaning that …
Rotary dryers are used across nearly every industry that requires the drying of bulk solids, be it for producing a product for consumer use, serving as an intermediary step in a larger process, or producing an industrial product that will maintain its integrity throughout its …
Several material characteristics must be included in the design of a rotary dryer that operates efficiently and reliably. In addition to a material’s specific heat, its heat transfer properties must also be taken into account during the dryer sizing and design process. Material Specifications: Heat …
Rotary dryers are the backbone of many industrial processes, ensuring bulk solids are properly and efficiently dried to produce a product ready for market or subsequent processing. The design and sizing of a rotary dryer is engineered around the characteristics of the material to be …
Rotary dryers perform best when they are engineered around the specifications of the project at hand – a process that starts by analyzing the material. In addition to the difference between inlet and outlet moisture, a material’s bulk density will also impact some of the …
April 20-21, 2011, Feeco will again be attending “Green Innovations,” an annual conference put on by The Environmental Management and Business Institute (EMBI) of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. This annual conference, along with the EMBI, is focused on getting together local businesses and community …
The January issue of Chemical Engineering got a lesson in agglomeration from one of FEECO International’s own, Chris Kozicki, the process sales engineer who co-wrote an article on the process of wet agglomeration. The article, “Consider Wet Agglomeration to Improve Powder Flow,” focuses on the …
Dealing with the task of drying or cooling large amounts of material in an industrial atmosphere can be a big task. It’s a situation where simplicity and functionality are features that can be taken straight to the financial bottom line. FEECO International has been a …
