The flighting in a rotary drum dryer system can be changed to repurpose a used or existing dryer. A flighting designer can look at the flow characteristics of the material in question and determine what kind of flights are necessary, thereby converting the dryer to a new purpose at a fraction of the cost of buying a new dryer

Flights are specially designed “fins” to assist in the movement of material as it travels through a rotary dryer. Investing in an efficient flighting system will maximize your fuel savings as well as increase overall production. Industrial Kiln & Dryer Group and our sister companies have provided thousands of flighting systems for all types

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 feedstuffs (alfalfa). Rotary dryers consist of a metal cylinder with internal flights or louvers (Fig. 22.21). The cylinder is slightly inclined

Oct 04, 2021 The rotary drum dryer is an essential component of the rotary dryer. It is a large, rotating cylinder known as the drum shell. It processes gas flows or dries air through the drum in counter-current or co-current modes. In counter-current mode, the material moves in the opposite direction for processing gas, whereas, the material moves in the

When used with agglomerates, rotary dryers have the added benefit of polishing - further rounding pellets and refining rough edges. Direct dryers rely on direct contact between the material and drying air. This direct contact, combined with the use of lifting flights, maximizes the heat transfer between the material and drying air, offering a

Flights, also known as “fins” or “material lifters,” are commonly used in both rotary dryers and coolers to maximize heat transfer between the material and the drying or cooling air. Affixed to the interior of the drum, they pick up the material as the drum rotates, and gradually drop it through the air stream, creating what is called a “curtain” of material

The flights can be designed to keep the larger pieces in the drum longer and allow the smaller pieces to flow more quickly. The right flighting package can help achieve uniform outfeed product moisture. Who uses rotary drum dryers? We believe everyone should! Assuming you need to dry something. Almost everyone does use one at home — a clothes dryer

Flights carry the solid particles and cascade them into the hot gas flow. Flights used in industrial dryers can have complex shape. However, for theoretical and experimental purposes, simple flight shapes are frequently considered composed by one , two or three segments ([5], [6], [7])

Oct 20, 2015 VEILING FLIGHTS. Veiling or lifting flights are used to maximize heat transfer between the material and hot gas stream. Two things happen during veiling. First, the dryer removes moisture from the material. Next, once all the moisture has been removed, the material can be heated to the desired temperature (212F+)
