Tornesh-Trockner

The Tornesh dryer is an innovative drying device combining many of the benefits of fluid bed and flash drying. Materials to be dried fall to the bottom plenum of the unit and begin to swirl in a cyclonic pattern like a tornado. As moisture is removed from the product, it becomes lighter and eventually is entrained in the upward hot gas stream.

Carrier Tornesh dryers can process wet solids ranging from 1 micron up to one-half inch diameter. In a short time, the dryer discharges wet materials as dried product. There is no adhesion of powders after the drying process, therefore grade changes occur quickly.

Anwendungen

Kohle

Carrier tornesh dryers use high-velocity heated air and turbulent particle suspension to rapidly remove moisture from coal. Controlled residence time delivers consistent product moisture while supporting continuous, high-capacity processing.

Diatomaceous Earth

Disperses fine diatomaceous earth into a turbulent heated air stream for rapid moisture removal. Intensive air-to-particle contact provides efficient drying while maintaining continuous material movement.

Lime

Provides rapid drying of fine lime through turbulent contact with heated process air. High heat and mass transfer rates achieve consistent residual moisture with short material residence times.

Graphite

Tornesh dryers suspend graphite particles in a controlled, high-velocity air stream for efficient moisture removal. Short residence times minimize prolonged thermal exposure while producing consistently dried material.

Kaolin Clay

Disperses wet kaolin clay into turbulent heated air to maximize exposed particle surface area. Intensive heat and mass transfer rapidly reduces moisture while limiting agglomeration.

Calcium Carbonate

Rapidly dries fine calcium carbonate through high-velocity air-to-particle contact. Turbulent suspension maximizes heat transfer and provides consistent moisture reduction across continuous, high-throughput operations.

Alumina Trihydrate

Uses controlled heated airflow and turbulent particle suspension to remove moisture from alumina trihydrate. Short residence times provide uniform drying while limiting unnecessary thermal exposure.

Kali

Our tornesh dryers provides rapid drying of fine potash through intensive contact with heated process air. Controlled airflow, temperature, and residence time achieve consistent moisture specifications for downstream processing.

Sodium Bicarbonate

Dries temperature-sensitive sodium bicarbonate using carefully controlled heated airflow and short residence times. Rapid heat transfer removes moisture while limiting excessive thermal exposure and product degradation.

Solid Chemicals

Provides rapid drying of chemical powders and fine solids through turbulent, high-velocity air contact. Adjustable operating conditions accommodate material-specific moisture, particle-size, and temperature requirements.

Plastics, Polymers & Resins

Uses controlled heated airflow to rapidly remove moisture from polymer, resin, and plastic materials. Short residence times minimize thermal exposure while reducing agglomeration and maintaining particle quality. Controlled moisture ensures consistent flow, prevents degradation, and supports reliable performance in downstream processing.

Gypsum

Disperses fine gypsum into a turbulent heated air stream for rapid moisture removal. Controlled temperature and residence time provide efficient drying while managing the material’s thermal characteristics.

Lebensmittel & Milchprodukte

Provides rapid moisture removal from suitable food and dairy materials using controlled turbulent airflow. Short residence times minimize thermal exposure while achieving consistent drying of heat-sensitive products.

Sawdust & Wood

Suspends sawdust, wood fibers, and fine biomass in high-velocity heated air for rapid drying. Intensive surface contact maximizes moisture evaporation while supporting continuous material transport.
