What is the purpose of drum dryer

The main purpose of a grain drum dryer is to efficiently and uniformly dry grains, in order to achieve the following effects:

• Removing excess moisture: Grains often contain high levels of moisture after harvesting, which not only affects their storage and transportation, but can also lead to mold and pest infestations. The drum dryer can effectively remove excess moisture from grains and reduce their moisture content by precisely controlling the drying temperature and time, thereby ensuring the storage quality of grains.
• Preventing mold and pest infestations: Grains with high moisture content are prone to mold and pest infestations, leading to food loss. The drum dryer controls the moisture content of grains within a safe range, which helps prevent mold and insect infestations, and extends the shelf life of grains.
• Maintaining nutritional value: The drum dryer can preserve the natural color, flavor, and nutritional components of grains as much as possible during the drying process, reducing nutrient loss during the drying process and providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing and utilization.
• Improving processing quality: For grains that require further processing, such as for feed production, food processing, etc., drum dryers provide dried grains with better processing performance, such as easy crushing, mixing, and shaping, thereby improving processing quality and efficiency.
• Improving economic efficiency: Grain processed by drum dryer has better storage and transportation performance, which can reduce losses and waste during storage, and increase the market value of grain, bringing higher economic benefits to agricultural producers.

Scope of application of dryer

• Grain drying: One of the most typical application scenarios for grain drum dryers is the drying of grains such as rice, wheat, and corn. These grains often contain high levels of moisture after harvesting, and if not dried in a timely manner, they can easily lead to mold and insect infestations, seriously affecting the quality and storage of the grains. The drum dryer can effectively remove excess moisture from grains by precisely controlling the drying temperature and time, achieving safe storage standards while preserving the nutritional content and taste of grains.
• Fruit and vegetable drying: Drum dryers are also widely used in the field of fruit and vegetable drying, such as apples, pears, carrots, and other fruits and vegetables. During the drying process, not only can excess moisture be removed and the shelf life be extended, but its original color, taste, and nutritional content can also be retained. This is of great significance for enhancing the added value of fruit and vegetable products and meeting consumers’ demand for healthy food.
• Meat processing: In the field of meat processing, drum dryers also play an important role. By removing moisture from the surface of meat, a drum dryer can improve the processing quality and taste of meat, making it more delicious and tasty. Meanwhile, drying treatment can effectively inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of meat products.
• Textile industry: Drum dryer is also one of the indispensable equipment in the textile industry. It is suitable for drying various fabrics such as cotton, polyester, nylon, etc.
• Chemical industry: The chemical industry is another important field for the application of drum dryers. Chemical raw materials such as resins, plastics, rubber, pigments, dyes, fertilizers, etc. often require removal of moisture during the production process to ensure their quality and stability.
• Building materials and mineral industry: In the building materials and mineral industry, drum dryers also play an important role. Drying of raw materials such as sand, river sand, yellow sand, cement, etc. is an indispensable step in the production process of building materials.
• In the field of wood processing and environmental protection: In the wood processing industry, drum dryers can be used for drying wood to improve its stability and utilization rate. In addition, in the field of environmental protection, drum dryers can also be used to process various materials such as sludge and waste, achieving resource recycling and utilization.
