What Is a Belt Dryer?
A belt dryer is an apparatus designed for moisture removal from various substances.
This machine employs a conveyor belt to transport the material through the drying process. It is equipped with a heating unit, blower, and exhaust system to facilitate efficient drying. As the material moves on the belt, heated air or drying gas is applied to evaporate moisture from the material’s surface, with the exhaust system then removing the moisture. Belt dryers are prized for their capability to dry large volumes of material uniformly.
They find extensive applications across several industries. In the food sector, belt dryers are crucial for processing fruits, vegetables, grains, and other dried products. The chemical industry uses them for drying chemical compounds and pharmaceuticals, while the agriculture and wood processing industries employ them to dry agricultural products and wood materials.
