Dryers

In the pelletizing process, in many cases the pellet cutting operation occurs underwater- in particular with the USG strand pelletizing and SPHERO underwater pelletizing systems. For these applications,Lunarmech has developed the following types of pellet dryers.

• AERO impact dryers
• CENTRO centrifugal dryers

PRINCIPLE OF PELLET DRYING

The drying operation as part of the pelletizing process consists of 3 individual steps

1. Pre-dewatering: up to 95% of process water is removed by gravitational force
2. Primary drying: water drops adhering to the pellets are largely removed through airflow or mechanical movement
3. Final drying: The residual heat of the pellets is used to evaporate the remaining surface moisture

THE Lunarmech ADVANTAGE
