ROTARY SAND DRYERS
Rotary drum dryers have long been the preferred industrial dryer for processing sand in a variety of applications. Tolerant of variation in feedstock, highly reliable, and rugged, rotary dryers offer high-capacity sand drying at its finest for a variety of applications, including:
- Foundry casting (foundry sand)
- Hydraulic fracturing (proppant sand/frac sand)
- Glass production
- Abrasive materials
- Chemical production
- Construction and building materials
- Filter media
- Paints and coatings
- Ceramics
