Imagine, if you will, the process of specifying an industrial dryer if you were explaining it in a classic children’s book.

Supplementing the use of coal with biomass — a woody or energy crop — has become desirable in the production of electricity for a number of reasons.

If you have a rotary biomass dryer, chances are you have dealt with the three most common problems in biomass rotary dryer systems: rocks, fires and explosions, and nonuniform moisture content in final product. Get advice on dealing with all three.

Rotary drum dryers are the workhorses of the industrial drying industry, but even workhorses can have maintenance problems. Fortunately, most problems occurring in industrial rotary dryers can be solved by making your drum rigid, round and aligned.

Unplanned and uncontrolled fires and explosions are never welcome in an industrial plant. If you operate a dryer in your facility, read on for ways to mitigate your risk of fires and explosions.

Uncontrolled and unplanned fires and explosions in the plant are obviously undesirable.

Benefits of using rotary drum dryers are large drying capacity, drying efficiency and equipment versatility. Rotary drum dryers can be used to dry uniform and nonuniform solid particles in applications from biomass to food processing.
