Tropical Sawdust Dryer Sizing: Why DRYR Customizes Drum Length and Heat Exchange Area Instead of a Fixed-Spec Catalog
Sawdust dryer sizing under tropical and monsoon climates is a climate-driven engineering decision, not a fixed-spec catalog number. For pellet lines running 50 to 60 percent pine or eucalyptus residues at 80 to 95 percent ambient RH, including East Africa rainy-season sites, DRYR tests raw material moisture on site and scales drum length from the standard 12 m up to 17 to 18 m plus matching heat exchange area. The 0.8 to 2 t per hour four-model range, multi-fuel hot air furnace, cyclone dust collector and PLC control keep output moisture inside the 10 percent binding window when the surrounding air is already nearly saturated.
