FAQs

A flash dryer is often preferred when rapid surface moisture removal, compact equipment design and drying of fine materials are the primary requirements.

Integrated cyclones, bag filters and exhaust air treatment systems capture fines and clean the exhaust air.

Air heaters may be powered by natural gas, steam or recovered waste heat, depending on plant requirements.

Cyclones and bag filters separate dried product from the process air before discharge.

Yes. Sticky feeds can often be handled using back-mixing techniques and specially designed feed systems.

Fast drying, compact footprint, energy efficiency, gentle product handling and continuous operation.

Usually not. Evaporative cooling keeps the particle temperature significantly lower than the drying air temperature.

Fine solids, powders, filter cakes, slurries, pastes and other materials where surface moisture removal is the primary objective.

Drying typically occurs within seconds because the material is dispersed in the air stream, creating a very large heat transfer surface area.

A flash dryer is a pneumatic drying system that rapidly removes moisture from solids, powders, filter cakes, slurries and pastes by conveying them through a hot air stream.
