Olive pomace drying systems offer various drying drum options to provide high efficiency and energy savings.
The single pass rotary dryer is ideal for low capacities. This system dries the material quickly in high temperatures, thus reaching the desired moisture quickly. It is an economical solution especially for small and medium conditions.
The double pass rotary dryer is suitable for mid-sized productions. While products with higher moisture passage are dried in the first pass, a lower temperature and longer drying process is applied in the second pass. In this way, energy efficiency is increased and the drying process becomes more homogeneous. Double-pass systems offer significant advantages as systems that provide higher efficiency and lower energy consumption.
The triple pass rotary dryer is the technology that offers the highest efficiency and large-scale production facilities. The triple system reduces the moisture content much more effectively by processing the raw material with different temperatures and drying times in each pass. This system both saves energy and speeds up the drying process, thus greatly increasing production capacity. Three-pass drying drums are perfectly suited to industrial scale production processes with their robust structure and high efficiency.
Factors Affecting Efficiency in Drying Systems
Efficient drying of a raw material depends on 3 factors.
Air Flow Rate; Drying drum diameter and air flow directly affect this factor. For this reason, no matter what you do in a wrongly designed and manufactured dryer, you will not be able to achieve effective drying performance.
Flight Design; It is calculated according to the formulas we obtained after our R&D study, and these flights are permanently welded to the drum. Changing the angle later can be very difficult and costly.
Temperature; It is one of the most important and well-known factors that provides mass-energy transfer, that is, the drying process in the drying system. For the effective use of this temperature, the insulation, sealing elements and combustion efficiency of the system are very important.
