Rotary Kiln Dryer

A rotary dryer is a type of industrial dryer used to reduce or minimise the moisture content of the material it is handling by bringing it into contact with a heated gas. Rotary dryers are mainly used in the chemical and mineral industry. In the area of food, their most common applications are for dehydrating waste materials (citrus peels, vegetable trimmings) and animal feed stuffs (alfalfa). Rotary dryers consist of a metal cylinder with internal flights or louvres.
