Industrial ring dryers for high-capacity drying applications

Maximize drying efficiency for diverse materials with ring dryers, offering precise moisture removal and exceptional product quality through innovative recycling and circulation techniques.

Evaporates and Dries Moisture from Diverse Materials

The PGR Ring Dryer from Dedert Corporation is engineered to efficiently evaporate moisture from a variety of materials in high-capacity operations. Utilizing a ring manifold and centrifugal classification, it re-circulates semi-dry solids to ensure thorough drying, making it ideal for challenging applications like citrus fiber, DDGS, and vital wheat gluten. With a remarkable capacity to handle up to 179,000 ACFM and evaporate 34 tons of water per hour, this equipment integrates seamlessly into continuous processing lines. It offers partial gas recycle (PGR) configuration, reusing exhaust air for heightened energy efficiency. Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, the dryer supports resilient and temperature-sensitive products, ensuring high-quality outcomes. Automated and PLC-controlled with flexible configurations, the PGR Ring Dryer also supports customized design solutions, promising specified drying requirements and streamlined maintenance with built-in cleaning systems.
