Have you considered using a rotary dryer with a heat source that is "tempered" with air? We have applied variations of this arrangement for drying coal fines and waste PVC materials in which the material would ignite at temperatures typical of the combustion products temperature of a conventional burner. By including a means for a controlled "annulus of air" before the combustion products enter the dryer, the temperature can be controlled for drying products of this type.

Our company produces maily gas-infrared equipment. For drying of wood particles we cannot recommend any IR equipment as the specific radiated heat will be too high: the wood particles are burning at the outside whereas inside of the particle the water is not yet heated or dried. Wood drying needs time and drying takes place in a longer period of time, normally by hot air with a certain max. temperature for a careful drying process.



With best regards

Dear Mr. Jaime Rosal,

We noted with pleasure that you are looking for wood particle drying, starting with particles of 10 mm, from 50% inlet moisture to 15% residual moisture.

Our ULTRA-ROTOR, which is an air turbulence mill and at the same time a dryer, can certainly handle this task easily, even most probably without using any heating system.

In our ULTRA-ROTOR we are creating a huge surface and you can use the friction heat of the mill.

The key questions is, if you can accept the particle size change.

Certainly, our dryer cannot avoid a certain grinding of the material, i. e. we will reduce your particle size of 10 mm to fine powder.

Please check, if this is of interest to you and it will be a pleasure to co-operate in this project with you.

To learn more about our ULTRA-ROTOR technology, please kindly visit our homepage http://www.jaeckering.com

Looking forward to hearing from you soon again, we are remaining with

Best regards,
