In industrial production, drying is often a critical process. The quality and stability of drum dryers directly impact production efficiency and costs. Among numerous drying equipment options, drum dryers offer significant advantages, making them the preferred choice for many enterprises. So, what are the key benefits of drum dryers?

High-efficiency drying, environmentally friendly and energy-saving

The dryer cylinder is constructed from high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. Typically employing external heating, the synergistic action of heat conduction and convection accelerates moisture evaporation, ensuring more stable drying efficiency.
Featuring an inclined installation design (3-5° angle) combined with a scraper plate structure, materials are evenly dispersed within the cylinder and move axially. Drum dryers offer high processing efficiency with low energy consumption.

Extensive Application Scope

Suitable for industrial sectors (building materials, chemicals, metallurgy), agriculture (grain, fruits/vegetables), and biomass fuel industries. Typically handles lumpy, powdery, granular, and fibrous materials.
Process parameters (drum rotation speed, inclination angle, etc.) can be adjusted based on material characteristics (moisture content, particle size). For high-temperature viscous materials, a triple-pass drum structure prevents wall adhesion.

Superior Equipment Quality with Low Maintenance Costs

Core components (drum body, transmission system, heating units, etc.) utilise highly wear-resistant and heat-tolerant materials. Can be equipped with centralised control systems, enabling computerised central monitoring for large enterprises. Drum dryers boast a service life of up to 10-15 years.
Self-aligning idler wheel design minimises wear. Support wheel configuration reduces horizontal thrust during inclination, ensuring smoother and more reliable operation.

Modular material-lifting apparatus

We have implemented numerous technical innovations in the material-lifting apparatus of our drum dryers. This overcomes the ‘air tunnel’ phenomenon common in traditional air-drying equipment, achieving high thermal efficiency. Coal consumption can be reduced by 20%, resulting in greater fuel savings.
