Drum Dryers
Drum Dryers
In a drum dryer a feed containing dissolved solids or slurry carrying suspended solids is poured or gets adhered on the outside surface of a rotating drum and forms a thin layer. The rotation of the drum is adjusted in such a way that the moisture in the feed gets vaporized and a dried thin layer will be scraped off with the help of an adjustable knife in the form of flakes or powder depending on the nature of the dried product. The product gets dried after water / solvent gets evaporated due to internal heating of the drum. The selection of feed mechanisms depends on properties and nature of feed solution.
