Why rotary drum dryers? A dry compressed air system is essential to maintain the reliability of production processes and the quality of end products. Untreated air can cause corrosion in pipe work, premature failure of pneumatic equipment, and product spoilage. A heat-of-compression dryer is an energy-efficient way to produce dry air. It uses the heat that is generated in the compression process to regenerate the desiccant. This heat is typically wasted in other drying technologies. Dewpoints as low as -45°C/-49°F can be achieved, depending on Perfect for oil-free compressors...

Working principle The working principle of the ND rotary drum dryer is based on using hot compressed air from the compressor to regenerate the desiccant. The single pressure vessel is divided into two sectors: one for drying (75%) and one for regenerating (25%). Desiccant, impregnated on a honeycomb glass fiber drum, slowly rotates through these two sectors. Hot air leaving the last stage of the compressor is divided into two streams, A and B. The main stream – branch A – passes through the compressor’s aftercooler (not visible in below image) and then enters the dryer for drying. The other...

Superior energy-efficiency Features of ND dryers which contribute to increased efficiency are zero purge by design, a low pressure drop, no filtration requirements and no loss of compressed air. A Variable Speed Drive (VSD) dryer version is available to match VSD compressors. Smart heating and best performance A smart algorithm makes sure only the energy required for heating is used, to reduce power consumption Since no compressed air is lost in the drying process, your oil-free compressor will run at full efficiency. Zero purge by design Whereas other desiccant dryer types can consume up...
