Thermal Solids Processing
Thermal solids processing technology innovations
In many dry material processing systems, thermal treatment of the bulk product is required. It is often necessary to heat the product during a production process, for example for crystallization, degassing, prevention of condensation, drying of internal or external moisture or preparation for downstream thermal processing sections (such as extrusion). Bulk solids cooling is a common step in many industrial processes. It generally occurs near the end of the processing sequence when powders or bulk solids must be cooled prior to storage or packaging to allow for safe handling and storage. Bulk solids cooling can be necessary if the production temperature is high but the solids are processed downstream at a lower temperature. There are different technical solutions for the thermal treatment of bulk solids. Both direct and indirect processes are possible. This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in bulk solids cooling and heating technology.

Innovative Combination of Rotary Dryer and Cleaning Drum – Allgaier Drum Dryer System TRH
UHINGEN – Processing of limestone screening debris by means of a combination of rotary dryer and cleaning drum. During the extraction of limestone in quarries, so-called pre-screening debris are yielded. Up to 90 % of this pre-screened material consists of good limestone rock, which is frequently heavily interstratified with clay and loam impurities. Therefore, it could only be sold as a low-grade product without being cleaned correspondingly.
