What is the principle of the rotary dryer？
Rotary dryers work by tumbling and drying material in a rotating drum. The Materials to be dried enter into the dry zone of special combination plates are thrown by the drying plate for vertical movement because of angle difference and rotational motion of the drying plate. After making heat exchange with the materials, the high-temperature furnace gas discharged into the cylinder evaporates water and drys the material, it can prevent the material from sticking on the inside of the cylinder. It is a part of the pellet mill plant.
Rotary drum dryer design(Rotary Dryer Calculations)
Qingdao PALET Machinery can design and manufacture the Rotary Dryer Machine, dryer equipment for the customers especially according to the information of material. This raw material is wood chips, sawdust, etc.
The information as follows:
the production is 2 ton per hour.
A：Drying intensity (38kg/m3h)
G1：Dry Material Production (2t/h)
V：Dry Space needed(m3)
W1：Initial Moisture Content(60%)
W2：Final Moisture Content(15%)
Material Calculation：
For every 1000kg wet material evaporation and moisture content：
W=1000×（0.6-0.15）/(1-0.15)=529.4kg(H20)
For every 1000kg wet material quantity after evaporate：
M=1000-529.4=470.5kg
To produce 1000kg of end product need to feed in：
G=1000/470.5×1000=2125.3kg(wet raw material)
Rotary Dryer Calculation：
Volume calculation:
G1=AV÷｛1000×〖W1—W2〗÷〖100—W1〗｝
2=AV÷｛1000×(60-15)/(100-60)｝=AV/1125
V=59.2m3
Provided Rotary Dryer dimension:φ2.0×20m
V=πr²L=3.14x（1）²x20=62.8>59.2m3（fulfill requirement)
Classification of rotary dryers
- Direct-heated rotary dryer. The parallel current type, counter-current type, and staggered flow type. Parallel flow type is the hot air and materials moving in the same direction, but Counter current type is the direction of hot air flow is opposite to the direction of material movement.
- Indirect-heated rotary dryer. The built-in heating tube type and cylinder wall heating type.
- Special types, such as triple pass rotary drum dryer

Rotary dryers application
- Building materials industry: drying raw materials used in construction and engineering, mainly sand, river sand, yellow sand, cement, clay, grass charcoal soil, etc.
- Agriculture: drying wine lees, chicken manure, straw and sawdust, alfalfa, wood chips, wood shaving, etc.
- Industrial industry: drying industrial products or by-products, such as drying paper mill offcuts waste paper pulp, plastic waste, desulfurization gypsum, fly ash and industrial sludge, etc.
- Mineral processing industry: used in the process of processing various mineral products after mining, to play a role in bulk drying, can dry materials such as: coal processing industry coal sludge, lignite, cinder, flotation coal, etc.; smelting processing industry ore, mineral powder, slag, copper ore, laterite nickel powder, tailing slag, etc.; sand and gravel industry quartz sand, limestone, active lime, etc.
Advantages and disadvantages of rotary dryer
1.Rotary dryer has strong overload resistance, large processing capacity, low fuel consumption, and low drying cost;
2. Rotary Drum dryer can change the operating parameters according to different material properties so that the material can form a stable full break fabric screen in the dryer cylinder, and the quality heat exchange is more adequate;
3. Rotary Drum dryer adopts new feeding and discharging device, which eliminates the phenomenon of vertical dryer feeding blockage, discontinuity, unevenness, and material return, and reduces the load of dust removal system;
4. If the dryer is larger and the airflow speed is faster, there will be dust entrainment, so dust removal equipment and dust recovery equipment are needed.
