Dryers

Direct DRUM ROTARY dryers
We have built a reputation for making the best tumble dryers in the industry. All of our dryers are custom designed to meet your unique material processing needs. Whether you require low or high inlet temperatures, short or long residence times, counter-flow or co-flow, the FEECO design team can design a rotary drum dryer for your application.

Rotary dryers are a highly efficient industrial drying option for bulk solids. They are often chosen for their strong processing capabilities and their ability to produce consistent results despite variations in raw materials.

Rotary dryers work by rotating material in a rotating drum in the presence of drying air. They can also be heated indirectly to avoid direct contact between the material and the processing environment.

The drum is positioned at a slight horizontal incline to help gravity move the material through the drum. As the drum rotates, lifting flights pick up material and throw it through the air stream to maximize heat transfer efficiency. When working with agglomerates, the rolling action applied by the dryer provides the added benefit of further rounding and polishing the granules.
