This week’s image highlights a counter-current rotary dryer in 3D. In counter-current dryers, material flows in the opposite direction as the drying air. Here, the wettest material comes in contact with the coolest drying air. The counter current design provides increased thermal efficiency for materials …
Rotary dryers have a long history in many industries, but perhaps none more than in the fertilizer industry, where they are an essential component in processing minerals for fertilizers at mine sites, and for producing many of the fertilizer products on the market today. Rotary …
Industrial clay minerals exhibit incredibly diverse characteristics, lending their use in everything from consumer products such as cat litter and cosmetics, to industrial additives, catalysts, and adsorbents, to name a few. While there are many types of clay, each with wide variation in characteristics, the …
This week’s photo reveals the mechanical construction of a rotary dryer in 3D. The image was created by one of FEECO’s CAD specialists. FEECO’s team is equipped with the most advanced CAD programs, and our drafters and designers regularly use the software to create 3D …
Rotary dryers are used prolifically throughout bulk solids processing applications – from fertilizers and soil amendments, to minerals, specialty chemicals and more. In fact, new applications in which rotary dryers are being implemented are constantly on the rise. Whatever the application, rotary dryers are often …
This week’s photo highlights a ball and tube knocking system. Knocking systems are often implemented to combat build-up inside of a rotary dryer. The systems are usually externally fitted on the inlet end of the dryer, where the incoming material is most wet and sticky. …
Rotary drum tires, or riding rings, are one of the primary support components of a rotary drum, resting on trunnion wheels and allowing rotation of the unit on its base. As technology has advanced, the approach to mounting drum tires has evolved, with each change …
