Kenya Inland Biomass Projects | Split Shipment Assembly Dryer
The Kenya inland site problem starts before production
For a biomass plant near Mai Mahiu, Kenya, buying a sawdust dryer is only the first logistics decision. A 17–18 m rotary drum can be difficult to move in one piece, and a remote factory may not have the specialists needed to assemble and start it. DRYR uses an assembled structure and split shipment assembly approach: the long drum is divided for transport, then reassembled, installed, and commissioned at the user site. The result is a practical path from delivery to continuous sawdust drying, without leaving the customer with equipment that has arrived but cannot run.
Why the old alternatives leave a project exposed
Natural sun drying and manual or open-air drying avoid the initial equipment shipment, but they do not provide the same continuous sawdust drying control for an industrial line. High-moisture sawdust can face mold or fermentation risk and may degrade before pelletizing, molding, or briquetting. A small airflow dryer can look easier to place, while a hand-welded low-end drum machine can look cheaper, but neither option removes the project risk of matching capacity, handling wet biomass material, and completing a durable installation at a remote plant.
A rotary sawdust dryer designed for delivery and field start-up
DRYR is configured as an industrial sawdust dryer with an assembled structure for field delivery. The rotary drum dryer is split into transportable sections, so a large drum can be shipped as a split shipment assembly dryer rather than treated as one unmanageable 17–18 m load. The segmented drum and steel roller supports shown in the first image provide visible evidence of the assembly and support concept. The second image shows the wider drying system with process ducting, a cyclone separator, blower, steel frames, and a control cabinet. Depending on the line design, the sawdust rotary drum dryer can be matched to 0.8–2 t/h throughput, lifting flights, PLC control, and cyclone or baghouse dust control. DRYR also provides on-site installation and commissioning: the team reassembles the drum, aligns the support and drive system, checks the process connections, and runs commissioning with the customer.
From a difficult delivery to a usable drying line
This delivery model changes the purchase from a freight-only transaction into a start-up plan. Split shipment reduces the difficulty of moving an extra-long drum into an inland Kenyan site, while on-site installation and commissioning addresses the fear that the machine will arrive but cannot be assembled. The compact DRYR layout can reduce occupied area by 50 percent and infrastructure investment by 50 percent against the applicable comparison basis. Once running, continuous automated operation supports sawdust moisture reduction, with the configured target of output moisture below 10 percent where the material and process conditions allow. That moisture consistency helps pellet production, molded wood pallet production lines, charcoal briquette work, and stable MDI or UF glue bonding. For a project near Mai Mahiu, the practical result is simple: buy a sawdust drying machine that can be delivered, assembled, commissioned, and put to work.
