Seaweed Drum Dryer for Batch Processing

Semi-automatic drum dryer designed for flexible and efficient drying of seaweed and marine biomass in batch operations.

Operating on hot air convection, the system uses a rotating drum to ensure uniform drying while preserving product quality. It is particularly suited for customized processing requirements and variable raw material conditions.

Key Features

  • Batch drying capacity: 50–200 kg per cycle
  • Hot air drying at 70–110 °C with controlled airflow
  • Rotating drum with bidirectional movement for uniform drying
  • Automatic monitoring of temperature, airflow, and humidity (RH)
  • Hydraulic lifting system for loading and unloading
  • Adjustable parameters to match seaweed type and moisture content
  • AISI 316 stainless steel drum for hygienic processing

Process Overview

  • Raw or pre-processed seaweed is loaded into the rotating drum
  • Hot air is introduced through the inlet system
  • Material is continuously mixed by drum rotation
  • Moist air is removed through the exhaust outlet
  • Drying parameters are monitored and adjusted automatically

Benefits

  • Flexible drying for different seaweed types and conditions
  • Preservation of product quality and structure
  • Energy-efficient batch operation
  • Reliable and controlled drying performance

Technical Specifications

  • Drum dimensions: Ø 900 mm × 4900 mm
  • Internal volume: approx. 3.9 m³
  • Material: AISI 316 stainless steel

Flexible drying. Controlled process. Designed for performance.
