Product description

A rotary dryer consists of a slightly inclined cylindrical drum that turns slowly on its supports. Lifting flights fixed inside the drum pick up the salt and let it fall through the stream of hot air, so the crystals are repeatedly exposed to the heat as they move from the inlet to the outlet.

When the salt and the hot air travel in the same direction, the wettest salt meets the hottest air at the inlet, which quickly evaporates surface moisture. Rotary dryers are robust and tolerate variations in feed moisture and grain size, which makes them a common choice for drying washed raw salt and industrial salt. They work with an air heater and a fan or blower, with the exhaust air usually cleaned in a dust collector.

  • Tolerates variations in feed moisture and grain size
  • Robust mechanical design for continuous duty

Applications

  • Drying washed raw salt
  • Drying coarse and industrial salt
  • Drying salt before grinding or screening

Frequently asked questions

What information do you need to prepare a quotation?

Tell us the material to be processed, the required output if it is known, and whether the equipment is for a new line or an existing one. Drawings or photos of the current line help. If some details are not decided yet, our team can discuss them with you.

Are the specifications fixed?

No. The suitable design depends on the feed material, the required capacity, the moisture level and the site conditions, so the specifications are agreed for each project.

Do you offer maintenance and spare parts?

Maintenance and spare parts are among the services of Smart Makina. Contact us with the type of equipment and its current condition so the request can be reviewed.
