Fundamentals

01What Is a Rotary Dryer and What Determines Its Capacity?

Rotary-dryer selection is based not only on wet-feed tonnage but on water evaporation, material behaviour, heat and gas balances.

Design and selection

02How Are Moisture and Drying Load Calculated?

Drying-load calculation begins by stating the moisture basis and using a dry-solids balance to determine water removal.
