Introducing Komline-Wyssmont TURBO-Dryer
The TURBO-DRYER® consists of a stack of slowly rotating circular trays.
Material is fed onto the top tray.
After one revolution, the material is wiped onto the next lower tray, where it is mixed,
leveled, and wiped to the next tray after one revolution.
This process is repeated on each tray after one revolution.
They trays are contained in an enclosure in which heated air or gas is circulated.
This delivers very uniformly dried product because material is intermittently redistributed with plugflow operation. Because of the uniform inside temperature or zoned temperature regions, the turbo-dryer has the closest product temperature control of any dryer possible.
