Product Overview
The Used Custom-Made Rotary Dryer is a portable, natural gas-fired drying system designed for continuous processing of agricultural products and other bulk materials requiring controlled heat and agitation. Featuring a 36-foot long by 4-foot diameter carbon steel rotating drum, this heavy-duty dryer utilizes more than 100 welded lifting teeth to continuously tumble and expose material to heated airflow for efficient moisture reduction.
The rotating barrel is equipped with 100+ welded teeth measuring approximately 6" x 10", promoting consistent product movement and improved drying performance throughout the drum. Heat is supplied by natural gas-fired heaters with an estimated output of 75,000 to 100,000 BTU, while the drum rotation is driven by a 0.33 HP variable-speed motor capable of speeds up to 3 RPM. Higher rotational speeds can be achieved with a motor upgrade if required.
Additional features include an integrated infeed hopper, portable trailer-style mounting with two wheels and a tow hitch, making the unit easy to relocate between job sites or processing locations. The dryer was previously operated at approximately 250°F in an agricultural application.
Note: This listing includes the rotary dryer and infeed hopper as described. Fuel supply equipment, controls, discharge conveyors, and ancillary processing equipment are included only if specifically stated.
