Drum dryer: structure and function at a glance
Benefits and functions
A drum dryer is an industrial machine used to efficiently remove moisture from materials such as sludge. Through the continuous rotation of a drum and the use of hot gases, the material is dried evenly and quickly.
Detailed explanation incl. application
A drum dryer, also known as a rotary or cylinder dryer, is a drying unit that is often used in industrial processes to process large quantities of moist material, especially sludge.
The dryer consists of a rotating drum in which hot gases circulate and dry the sludge. These heating gases can either come into direct contact with the sludge or act indirectly via heat exchangers to ensure an optimum drying temperature.
Drum dryers are used in industries that process large volumes of moist materials, such as sewage treatment plants that treat waste water or industrial operations that work with oily sludges.
FAQ
How does a drum dryer work?
A drum dryer works by continuously rotating a large drum in which hot gases circulate and dry the moist material. The sludge is transported through the drum while the heat removes the moisture evenly and efficiently.
In which areas is a drum dryer used?
Drum dryers are mainly used in sewage treatment plants and waste processing to dry large quantities of moist sludge. They are also used in industrial processes where fast and uniform drying is required.
