Stela Belt Dryer is a drying technological system designed for drying a variety of wet materials, including biomass, sewage sludge, and animal feed.

The dryer works by passing the material through a heated chamber while it is transported on a conveyor belt. The hot air is generated by a combustion chamber and circulated through the drying chamber by a fan.

The dryer is energy-efficient, as the hot air is recirculated and the combustion chamber is designed to burn low-grade fuels.

Dryer selection according to drying products

Stele Belt Dryer is widely used in industries such as agriculture, forestry, and waste management. It has applications in producing fuel pellets, animal feed, and fertilizer, as well as in the treatment of sewage sludge. The dryer can handle large volumes of material and has a low environmental impact, making it a popular choice for sustainable processing.

Belt dryer simply explained

A belt dryer, sometimes also referred to as a belt cooler, is a machine that ensures particularly gentle product treatment. Your resource, eg corn, is first fed into an inlet chamber as wet material and then runs through the drying chambers on horizontally arranged, perforated drying belts.

Heating gases flow through or over it and thus dry continuously and evenly. The drying room is divided into several chambers, each of which can be equipped with a circulating air fan and a heating register. This allows each dryer cell to be controlled individually.

The product flow rates of the drying/cooling air can be varied in each cell. In addition, the transport speed of the material to be dried can be varied, which provides an additional parameter for setting the drying time of the material. Both the heating and cooling of the cells can be direct or indirect. All heating media such as oil, steam, warm water or hot gases can be used for this.
