Advancing flights help move, or advance, the material into the rotary dryer to prevent buildup near the wet feed inlet. In addition, advancing flights allow the material to dry before it moves on to the next set of flights, a process that can help prevent sticking inside of the drum.

Flights should be customized to suit the material and overall process at-hand. Customizations include the design of the flight itself, the placement inside of the drum, and the material of construction.

FEECO has custom designed and manufactured rotary dryers since our founding in 1951. For more information on the equipment, download our e-book, or contact us today!
