Counter Current Rotary Dryer For Lower Moisture Content Raw Materials

Counter-Current Rotary Dryers are more suitable for materials that must be dried to very low levels of moisture, where the last traces of moisture are difficult to remove, or where an elevated product temperature is desirable.

They are also used effectively as combined dryer / preheaters. However, since the final product is in contact with the gas at its highest temperature the counter-current dryer is often unsuitable for heat sensitive materials. Although this system can be more efficient, moisture which is to remain in the product, is not so readily controlled.

Counter-Current Rotary Dryers Features

Dry product is in contact with the gas at its highest temperature

The final product is in contact with the gas at its lowest temperature

Counter-Current Rotary Dryers Benefits

Suitable for materials that must be dried to very low levels of moisture, where the last traces are of moisture are difficult to remove, or where an elevated product temperature is desired. Often used as a combined dryer/preheater.
