A rotary dryer is a widely used industrial equipment designed to reduce the moisture content of bulk materials through continuous, indirect or direct heat transfer. Characterized by a rotating cylindrical drum, it is essential in sectors such as mining, agriculture, chemical processing, and waste management, where drying is a critical step in material processing, storage, or transportation. Its ability to handle large volumes of diverse materials—from granular ores to sludges—makes it a cornerstone of many industrial drying operations.
The core rotating drum—steel-made with heat/corrosion-resistant linings—is inclined (2°–5°) to aid material flow. Support rollers and trunnion rings stabilize rotation, while a drive system (motor, reducer) controls speed (1–5 rpm). Internal lifters cascade materials to maximize contact with hot gas. Feed chutes, discharge hoods, heat sources (burners/exchangers), and exhaust systems (fans, filters) complete the setup.
● Optimal range: 0.5mm to 50mm (from fine particles to coarse lumps)
● Can handle slightly sticky materials with proper drum design
● Materials requiring pre-crushing if exceeding size limits
● Initial moisture: 15%-45% (wet basis)
● Final moisture: Typically reduced to 5%-15%
● Effective for both surface moisture and bound moisture removal
● Can process materials with heat resistance up to 800-1000°C
● Special linings required for extremely abrasive materials
● Temperature control critical for heat-sensitive minerals
● Sand, Iron ore, Copper concentrate, Coal slime, Limestone, Gypsum, Clay, Some phosphate rocks, Fine materials, Powdered ores etc.
Our single-drum rotary dryer delivers versatile drying solutions across industries,
● efficiently handling metal ores like iron ore pellets (moisture reduction for smelting), copper/zinc/lead concentrates (pre-shipment drying), and bauxite/alumina (processing prep).
● It excels with industrial minerals including silica sand (foundry preparation), gypsum (wallboard production), kaolin clay (ceramics), and limestone (cement).
● Specialty applications cover coal (thermal efficiency boosting), mineral sands (ilmenite/rutile/zircon), and salt/potash dehumidification.
● Additionally, it processes byproducts such as slag (construction materials) and mine tailings (volume reduction), ensuring optimal moisture control for diverse material streams.
*The output will vary according to different materials, feed particle size and other factors
