Increase in capacity of a rotary dryer

Posted in: , on 21. Dec. 2006 - 10:30

Dear Sir,

Currently we are using a rotary dryer for drying pellets from 50% to less than 1%. Its capacity is 100 tonnes per day.

kindly suggest me the ways to improve its capacity by 10% by making slight modifications either in design parameters or in process parameters to the existing one.

Thank you

Sir

Heat input, rotational speed, horsepower of the drive, retention time, possibly some "predrying" to reduce the initial moisture are all factors to be considered.

Your best bet would be to go back to the original designer or supplier who know specifically what margin of design is in the equipment and they should be able to help you.

Regards

Dear Gopiiitr

Without any details it is difficult to assist.

Bear in mind that drying efficiency can also be affected by the supply and exhaust air rates.Is it once through or recirculating.If the former, are you achieving the desired temperatures or just using what you can get?If the latter then you may have too much humidity.

Do you have baffle blades to throw the material as it passes through the drum?if so, are they damaged?If not think about installing them.

Regards

Dear Gopiitr

I agree with both the gentlemen. Without any details it is very difficult to comment. I think an energy audit might help you.

If you used the LamiFlo Drying System from Lf Pumping as a pre-dryer then you would vastly increase the capacity of the rotary drum. The Lamiflo system uses air, to dry, and it is the most environmentally friendly dryer in the market place.

The LamiFlo system woudl take off most of the moisture content then allow the rotary drum dryer to take off the last amounts, thus speeding, and increasing the use of the rotary drum dryer.
