Feed-type ring dryer for industrial drying processes
Optimize your production with a versatile drying solution designed for efficient moisture control in challenging feed materials like pastes and slurries, ensuring consistent product quality across various applications.
Processes and Dries Diverse Industrial Materials
The Feed-Type Ring Dryer by GEA is designed for industries requiring efficient drying of complex materials, such as agrifood, chemical, and mineral sectors. This dryer stands out for its use of a single-blade manifold for selective residence time, enhancing drying efficiency and particle size control. The system uses a disintegrator to recycle semi-dried materials, improving thermal efficiency and product quality. Ideal for drying wheat gluten, powdered milk, and ceramic slurries, it handles various materials including powders, cakes, and slurries. Capable of operating continuously at high speeds, it’s customizable for integration into existing lines, offering energy savings and solvent recovery. Constructed with options for stainless steel, it supports sustainable operations with reduced exhaust temperatures and emission improvements.
