Industrial rotary dryer for odor and emission control

For challenging drying applications with odor and emission concerns, this rotary dryer offers an energy-efficient solution by integrating thermal oxidation within a partially-closed cycle.

The Swiss Combi Rotary Dryer, featuring the ecoDry™ system from Dedert, offers a sophisticated solution for industries like starch, ethanol, and biofuels requiring effective odor control and emissions management. This dryer utilizes a partially-closed, indirect steam drying loop with integrated thermal oxidation at over 1600°F (870°C), ensuring efficient evaporation and superior drying performance. Ideal for producing corn starch powder, ethanol fuel, and plant-based protein isolates, it supports a continuous process with reduced energy consumption, thanks to its advanced gas/gas heat exchanger. The ecoDry™ system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, enhancing operational efficiency and product quality while minimizing fire and explosion risks. Available in configurations suited to various industrial settings, it meets stringent environmental standards, providing a robust and adaptable drying solution for demanding applications.
