Industrial seaweed drum dryer

Dries and Dehumidifies Seaweed and Algae

The Seaweed Drum Dryer from Sirputis exemplifies tailored engineering for efficient drying of seaweed and algae. This fully automatic system utilizes a rotary drum that integrates a built-in electric heater and dehumidifier, enabling precise temperature control and ensuring effective moisture extraction, removing up to 90% moisture from the feedstock. Designed for the production of high-quality dried seaweed sheets, powders, and biomass pellets, this dryer is ideal for applications in food, agriculture, aquaculture, and algae processing.

The system features forced hot airflow circulation within a closed loop, creating optimal conditions for drying while maintaining the integrity of the raw material. Its rotary drum is made from AISI316 stainless steel, ensuring durability and compatibility with marine bioproducts. With a 5.2 m3 drum volume and a loading weight capacity of 1.2 tons, the system supports continuous high-capacity operations.

Adaptable to various heat sources such as electricity, bio-gas, or liquid fuel systems, the dryer achieves energy efficiency through innovative heat exchange technology, reducing operational costs. The adjustable drum tilt angle and rotation speed of 3–5 rpm contribute to flexibility in processing different algae species. Supported by PLC controls, the system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, granting real-time monitoring and adjustments.
