The Band Dryer is the most appropriate equipment for several fragile, sticky or hard to dry products. Principle of a Band Dryer: The product to be processed will be distributed in an uniform layer on the band conveyor by means of a suitable feeder i.e. oscillating spreader, vibrating distributor, extruder, spreading screw, etc. The band passes through a tunnel constituted by modular compartments with individual heating and air circulation system. Drying air is blown whether downward or upward or in a combined pattern to get a homogeneous drying of the product. Possibility of various process by operation on following parameters: - residence time: variable band velocity, - operating temperature adjustment in each zone, - cooling down of product after transfer in the drying area, - adjustment of the process gas velocity.
