This white paper looks at the questions that should be asked when considering a dryer for a process operation. Asking questions about the material to be dried, requirements for drying, production and final product quality, the lab testing process as well as your physical plant location and any constraints will help you select a suitable dryer.

Since industrial drying equipment is a major capital investment for any company, careful
consideration must be given to testing the dryer prior to the selection, design, and manufacturing
of the unit. Dryer life can be measured in decades, so the selection of inefficient equipment can
have a long-term impact on the economic health of the company. The selection of drying equipment
is predominantly an exercise in which knowledge, equipment design experience, and expertise in
processing all play important roles. Because of the complexity of the drying process, many factors
need to be considered and weighed.
