Pneumatic drying system for industrial slurries
In various industries processing wet materials such as slurries, filter cakes, or powders, there is a need for a drying method that efficiently handles high moisture content. Traditional drying solutions often struggle with consistency and efficiency, leading to increased operational costs and time.
Efficiently dry slurries up to 95% moisture content
The Scott Equipment Air Swept Tubular (AST) Dryer is a robust pneumatic drying system designed for various industrial applications. This patented technology employs adjustable paddles and air dams to optimize air-to-solids heat transfer, making it capable of drying materials with dry solids content as low as 5% to as high as 99% in a single pass. The AST Dryer agglomerates hot air and wet product, reducing drying time and breaking up lumps effectively. With a capability to dry a wide range of materials—including minerals, wood flour, and food dye—this system ensures efficient moisture evaporation through a sequence of controlled operational zones. Key features include low BTU consumption (10-20% less than traditional dryers), custom design options, and rugged construction for long-term, trouble-free operation. Scott Equipment manufactures the AST Dryer to meet the stringent needs of various industries, including minerals, food, chemicals, and more.
