Today’s photo highlights advancing flights in a rotary dryer.
Advancing flights help to move, or advance material into a rotary dryer to prevent buildup near the wet feed discharge. Additionally, advancing flights give the material a chance to dry before they hit the next flights; this set-up can help prevent sticking.
Advancing flights are a common add-on for rotary dryers, and they are selected based on the unique material and drying requirements of the project at hand. General flight design and pattern placement inside the drum is also engineered around the material’s unique characteristics, and they can be customized to maximize processing efficiency.
