Ring Dryers
The solution for drying thermally sensitive products.
The manifold uses the centrifugal forces created through passing a product containing airstream around a curve to concentrate the product into a moving layer. The adjustable splitter blade is used to cut this layer and return the heavier, semi-dried material back to the top of the drying column, where the temperature is lower, for another pass through the system. The lighter, drier product exits the manifold and proceeds to the product collection system.
In addition to improving the thermal efficiency of the system, the use of the P-Type manifold in recycling the solids to a cooler section of the system, also minimizes the risk of thermal degradation. As a result the P-Type Ring Dryer is well suited to use with thermally sensitive materials including modified starches and soy fibre.
Almost any product requiring a powdered product can be dried in a Ring Dryer, which can handle a broad range of feed materials including powders, cakes, granules, flakes, pastes, gels, and slurries in addition to viscous products such as vital wheat gluten (VWG) which utilize a a proprietary feed extrusion system.
Dry pastes, filter cakes and viscous slurries more cost-effectively with the SWIRL FLUIDIZER®
The GEA Flash Dryer is a pneumatic system primarily used to dry products requiring the removal of free moisture. Drying takes place in a matter of seconds.
The Feed-Type Ring Dryer incorporates a top bend and simplified manifold, with the heavier material recycled via a chute into the wet feed disperser. The Feed-Type Ring Dryer is used for waste products, sludges, animal feeds, organic fertilizers and chemicals.
