As material is added to the dryer, it is assimilated into the bed by the mixing action of the agitators. Hydraulic head pressure, combined with the action of the wedge-shaped paddles, pushes material around and through the paddles. While there is a high degree of agitation and some back mixing, the overall pattern can be described as a plug flow movement down the dryer. For fast drying material, where very high volumes need to be conveyed, the paddles can be pitched and the dryers inclined to increase the conveyance rate. Depending on your specific requirements, K-S can provide you with a dryer, or a complete system.
Testing is an important part of a project.
K-S can provide pilot testing at our laboratory or at your plant. A successful plant depends on the integration of the key process units with properly selected ancillary equipment and the right facility design.
