Industrial Rotary Dryer
An industrial rotary dryer is a type of industrial-grade drying equipment that operates continuously and can be used to dry various industrial and mineral raw materials. Industrial rotary dryers are widely used in the efficient dehydration of bulk materials such as ore, coal slime, sand and gravel, chemical raw materials, biomass, metallurgical powder, etc. The rotary dryer rotates the drum to bring the material into full contact with the hot air flow, thus obtaining uniform and high-quality dried materials. The industrial rotary dryer has strong adaptability to different materials and stable operation. It is one of the most commonly used heat treatment equipment in industrial production.
What You Might Want to Know About AGICO Industrial Rotary Dryers
1. Is the AGICO industrial rotary dryer suitable for my material?





AGICO rotary dryer has various models suitable for drying different materials. It is suitable for drying a variety of granular, block and powder materials, especially for bulk industrial raw materials with high moisture content and great drying difficulty. Commonly used materials include: coal slime, mineral powder, quartz sand, river sand, yellow sand, gypsum, sawdust, feed, metallurgical slag, chemical particles, etc.
If you’re not sure whether your material is suitable for AGICO rotary dryers, feel free to contact us. You can send us a sample or provide detailed material parameters, and we will evaluate the most suitable drying solution for you.
2. How many tons of materials can the AGICO industrial rotary dryer dry per day? What is the approximate coal consumption?
About output
The output of rotary dryers will vary depending on factors such as equipment specifications, material type, moisture content, and heat source configuration. Generally speaking
Small rotary dryers have a daily output of about 20-80 tons
Medium-sized rotary dryers can reach 200-500 tons/day
Large-scale complete rotary drying equipment can produce more than 1,000 tons/day
For example, in the case of coal slime drying, a medium-sized rotary dryer with standard configuration can process 10-30 tons of material per hour. If it runs for 16 hours a day, the daily output can reach 160-480 tons.
The actual output of the rotary dryer will be determined based on the specific material properties, initial moisture content, type of heat source (coal, gas, electricity, etc.) and operating conditions. It is recommended that you contact us to provide your material parameters and we will customize a detailed capacity plan for you.
About energy consumption
Take coal slime as an example. Under normal working conditions, the heat required for drying one ton of material is about 4000-6000 kcal. When equipped with a high-efficiency coal-fired hot air furnace system, the coal consumption is about 0.15-0.25 tons.
We can further optimize the system energy efficiency according to the initial moisture content of the material, the form of the heat source and the equipment configuration to help customers reduce operating costs. If natural gas, hot air recovery system or three-cylinder structure is used, the unit energy consumption can be further reduced to the advanced level of the industry.
