INDUSTRIAL ROTARY DRUM DRYER
Rotary drum dryers remove moisture from bulk solids by precisely controlling temperature, airflow, and retention time. These rotating, slightly inclined rotary drums use engineered flights to lift and shower material through hot gas for uniform, continuous drying.
Precise Temperature Control
Operating temperature range of 85-105°C
Efficient Product Residence Time
Product residence time of 20 minutes
High Airflow for Effective Moisture Reduction
Lifters create various cascades for effective drying
Introduction to our Rotary Drum Dryers
In high-demand industrial drying applications, precision and efficiency are non-negotiable.
Rotary drum dryers, when manufactured carefully, deliver cutting-edge performance, enabling optimal drying efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and high throughput.
Engineered for applications requiring precise thermal control, these systems are tailored to maximize productivity while ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Key Features and Benefits (with Specifications):
- Dryer Drum Design For High-Performance Thermal Processing:
Our rotary dryers operate across a wide temperature range of 200°C to 1,000°C, capable of handling both low- and high-temperature applications. With thermal transfer rates exceeding 95% efficiency, the drying process ensures consistent moisture reduction to within ±0.5% of target specifications.
- Optimized Energy Efficiency:
Equipped with advanced insulation and heat recovery systems, our dryers achieve energy consumption as low as 800-1,200 kcal/kg of evaporated water, depending on the material. This results in up to 20-30% energy savings compared to conventional systems.
- Customizable Drum Dimensions and Capacities:
- Drum Lengths: Up to 30 meters for large-scale operations.
- Dryer Drum Diameters: Ranging from 1.2 to 4.5 meters, depending on capacity needs.
- Processing Capacity: Our rotary drum dryers support drying rates from 5 to 200 tons/hour, suitable for small to industrial-scale applications.
- Material Retention Time: Fully adjustable, ranging from 20 minutes to 40 minutes, for precise drying of various materials.
- Durable Construction for Harsh Environments:
Fabricated with 316 stainless steel, carbon steel, or specialty alloys, the rotary drum dryer design resists abrasion, corrosion, and extreme temperatures. Lifters and flights are custom-designed for optimized material flow, improving heat transfer efficiency by up to 30%.
- Environmental Compliance and Emissions Control:
Integrated with dust collection systems, such as cyclones, bag filters, or wet scrubbers, the rotary dryer drums ensure emissions remain below 10 mg/m³ of particulates. Reduced dust generation and exhaust gas handling make these systems compliant with EPA and EU environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens when a rotary drum is incorrectly sized?
An undersized drum usually forces higher temperatures or airflow to “catch up,” which leads to accelerated liner wear. Over-sized drums create the opposite issues, like short-circuiting of material. You need the correct size to avoid all these problems.
Can one drum handle multiple products without sacrificing quality?
Yes. If it’s designed for it from the start. Multi-product rotary dryer industrial systems use interchangeable flight patterns, adjustable air seals, and controlled inlet temperatures. The limitation isn’t the dryer itself, but how flexible the internals and control system are. Retrofitting flexibility later is usually expensive and inefficient.
What causes excessive dust emissions from rotary dryer drums?
Dust issues are rarely caused by the drum alone. They usually result from incorrect lifter design, excessive gas velocity, or poor sealing at the feed and discharge points. When the internal flights are matched to particle behavior, and airflow is controlled, dust generation drops significantly, even before downstream filters are considered.
