Rotary Sugar Dryer & Cooler
Sugar is a common product found in kitchens worldwide. From its
familiar appearance to its unmistakable taste, commercial sugar of
today is easily recognizable. But even a staple as basic as sugar
requires a great deal of processing in order to create a consistent
final product. One fundamental step in sugar processing is the use
of a sugar dryer. Drying is traditionally achieved using high-grade
equipment, typically a rotary dryer, in order to produce a
consistent, quality product free of lumps and discoloration.
Storing sugar at the right sugar temperature and humidity is very important to
avoid sugar caking. Therefore, the sugar temperature should be
reduced to less than 6K above the temperature and the sugar
moisture kept below 0.04 %. In many sugar mills the final
temperature of sugar usually remains above 40 °C causing constant
caking problems. In general, a lot of caked sugar is reprocessed
which requires additional energy & efforts causing loss of
revenues.
Hengyang rotary sugar dryer & cooler is designed for optimum sugar residence time and a drum diameter
to preserve the final quality of a sugar curtain, which improves
contact of sugar with the air flows, again improving the heat
exchange efficiency. The breakage of crystals during the
drying/cooling process in minimized.
Besides the traditional chain drive arrangement, Dryer plus
alternatively comes with friction drives to reduce the annual
maintenance cost as well as flexing and torsion of the drum body.
