==Operating Principle== | |||
The wet feed which has free flowing granular form is made to work over the rotating bundle of heated tubes. Due to radiation and conduction effects, the moisture is evaporated and the product becomes progressively dry as it travels across the dryer and reaches final moisture level at the discharge point. Due to effective turbulence the solids are dried uniformly. | The wet feed which has free flowing granular form is made to work over the rotating bundle of heated tubes.
