Description A
rotary dryer consists of a cylinder, rotated upon suitable bearings and
usually slightly inclined to the horizontal. The length of the cylinder
may range from 4 to more than 10 times its diameter, which may vary
from less than 0.3 to more than 3 m. Feed solids fed into one end of the
cylinder progress through it by virtue of rotation, head effect, and
slope of the cylinder and discharge as finished product at the other
end. Gases flowing through the cylinder may retard or increase the rate
of solids flow, depending upon whether gas flow is countercurrent or
cocurrent with solids flow. Rotary dryers have been classified as direct, indirect-direct, indirect, and special types. The terms refer to the method of heat transfer, being “direct” when heat is added to or removed from the solids by direct exchange between flowing gas and solids and being “indirect” when the heating medium is separated from physical contact with the solids by a metal wall or tube. Only totally direct and totally indirect types will be discussed extensively here, as it must be recognized that an infinite number of variations between the two are possible. Their operating characteristics when performing heat- and mass-transfer operations make them suitable for the accomplishment of drying, chemical reactions, solvent recovery, thermal decompositions, mixing, sintering, and agglomeration of solids. The specific types included are the following: Direct rotary dryer (cooler). This is usually a bare metal cylinder, with or without flights. It is suitable for low- and medium-temperature operations, the operating temperature being limited primarily by the strength characteristics of the metal employed in fabrication. Direct rotary kiln. This is a metal cylinder lined on the interior with insulating block and/or refractory brick. It is suitable for hightemperature operations. Indirect steam-tube dryer. This is a bare metal cylinder provided with one or more rows of metal tubes installed longitudinally in the shell. It is suitable for operation up to available steam temperatures or in processes requiring water cooling of the tubes. Indirect rotary calciner. This is a bare metal cylinder surrounded on the outside by a fired or electrally heated furnace. It is suitable for operation at medium temperatures up to the maximum which can be tolerated by the metal wall of the cylinder, usually 650 to 700 K for carbon steel and 800 to 1025 K for stainless steel. Direct Roto-Louvre dryer. This is one of the more important special types, differing from the direct rotary unit in that true through circulation of gas through the solids bed is provided. Like the direct rotary, it is suitable for low- and medium-temperature operation.  This picture of rotary dryer for fertilizer  ROTARY DRYER FOR FERTILIZER | INFORMASI HARGA ROTARY DRYER : |
