Abstract:
The invention relates to a pellet dryer (1) comprising: a housing (2), an inlet for feeding fluid flushed pellets and two separate outlets (3, 10) for discharging the dried pellets and the fluid, a vertical bladed rotor (4) for separation of the fluid by a screen (5) toward outside of the screen (5) surrounding the bladed rotor (4) and for a vertical acceleration and separation of the pellets by the blades (6) of the bladed rotor (4) and for continuously drying the vertically accelerated pellets inside the screen (5) of the housing (2), wherein an additional blower (18) is provided comprising a fan on top of the housing (2) positioned in the periphery of the bladed rotor (4) and connected with a ductwork (20) inside the housing (2) between an inner surface (16) of the housing (2) and an outer surface (38) of a framework (39) of the screen (5), wherein the rotational speed of the additional blower (18) is controlled by a central controller unit of the pellet dryer (1) independently of the rotational speed of the bladed rotor (4).
