Rotary dryer shells can be constructed from a variety of materials, including:
-
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Hastelloy
- Inconel
- And other alloys
Dryer shells can also be tailored in many ways, depending on the material and process requirements of the customer. For example, shell thickness can be fine-tuned to improve heat retention via the addition of insulation.
A properly constructed shell is critical to the drying operation at hand. The shell must run true and concentric in order to maintain process efficiency, and it must be dependable for years to come. A poorly manufactured shell will promote wear on all components, resulting in premature failure, and thus operational downtime.
FEECO has been custom designing rotary dryers since our founding in 1951. For more information, contact us today!
