Countercurrent flow in a rotary dryer ensures a more uniform distribution of the temperature-driving force along with the shell. What is a rotary dryer used for? This type of dryer is suitable for relatively free-flowing, non-sticky, and granular materials e.g. almost all types of crystals after crystallization and washing such as table salt ...

•There is no visible plume of dryer exhaust. •The dryer's exhaust is essentially water vapor, which can be condensed to recover thermal energy. This energy can be used elsewhere in the plant. •No pressure vessel is required because the dryer operates at atmospheric pressure. •Exhaust volume is much less than comparable …
