This belt dryer operates at lower temperatures
The PWTech plate belt dryer with Dorset technology differentiates itself from traditional belt dryers through its perforated steel plates. Unlike the woven belt found in conventional belt dryers, the perforated plate system lowers air resistance and ultimately energy consumption by up to 50%, and it can achieve two passes with each belt, says the company. The plates are available in stainless steel or powder-coated galvanized steel for protection against corrosion. Utilizing low-temperature heating, the system runs on hot water, allowing for multiple, and exchangeable heat sources, including waste heat, natural gas or a heat pump. Operating at a lower temperature, this plate dryer virtually eliminates the risk or fire or explosion, and reduces odors and dust. — Process Wastewater Technologies LLC (PWTech), Rosedale, Md.
