Advancing flights and knocking systems are two common rotary dryer add-ons.
Advancing Flights. Advancing flights work to move material into the dryer, to prevent build-up near the wet feed discharge. Additionally, advancing flights also give material the chance to dry before it moves on to the next flights; this can help prevent sticking inside of the dryer.
Knocking Systems. Knocking systems are used to prevent material build-up within the rotary dryer. While a variety of knocking systems are available, they, in general, all work by dislodging material as the dryer rotates.
Rotary dryers are offer a customizable solution for drying bulk solids. Add-ons such as advancing flights and knocking systems can help to improve the industrial drying process by preventing material build-up.
