Sawdust Dryer Machine

Definition of sawdust dryer machine 

A sawdust dryer is an industrial equipment designed for the dehydration and drying of biomass materials like sawdust and wood chips with high moisture content. As a typical sawdust dryer machine, also known as a wood pellet dryer, it plays a key role in improving pellet quality and production efficiency.

Its core function is to evaporate the moisture in wet sawdust through heat – exchange technology, so that the material can meet the requirements for subsequent processing or storage.

RICHI sawdust dryer, with its advanced design and stable performance, can quickly reduce the moisture content of sawdust from 50% to 15%, greatly enhancing the quality and use value of sawdust.

Structure of Sawdust Dryer Machine for Sale

Sawdust dryer machine for sale is a specialized piece of equipment developed by RICHI for drying sawdust and other biomass materials. Its components work together to ensure efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly drying.

  1. Rotary Drum:The core drying chamber adopts a drum-type structure. Inside the drum, a series of lifting plates constantly turn over the sawdust, allowing it to fully contact hot air and achieve even drying.
  2. Feeding System:Materials enter the drum through a horizontal feed inlet. The system supports automated feeding and includes a temperature sensor at the front to ensure optimal drying conditions.
  3. Heating System:The machine is compatible with various heat sources such as coal, biomass pellets, fuel oil, and natural gas. A specially designed hot-air furnace prevents direct flame and sparks from entering the drum, ensuring safety and drying quality.
  4. Transmission System:Powered by a Siemens motor, the rotary drum operates smoothly through a reliable gear-driven mechanism. The precision gear engagement guarantees steady drum rotation.
  5. Discharge & Airflow:Dried materials with about 15% moisture are extracted by an external fan and discharged via a shaker cage. Simultaneously, the airflow system removes hot, moist air from the chamber to keep the drying process efficient.
  6. Dust Removal & Accessories:An integrated dust removal system minimizes dust during operation to meet environmental standards. Optional accessories include an air cannon and flame detector to further enhance safety and stability.

working principle of sawdust dryer machine

working principle of sawdust dryer machine 

The core principle of the sawdust drying machine is to facilitate heat exchange between hot air and sawdust, causing the moisture to evaporate and be discharged along with the airflow, ultimately resulting in dried sawdust. Common types of RICHI sawdust dryer machine for sale include rotary dryer machine and belt dryer machine, among which drum sawdust pellet production lines are the most widely used.

  • Sawdust is fed into the dryer through a screw conveyor, and its humidity is usually around 50% (the moisture content of the material may vary depending on the raw material).
  • Provide heat source.Taking coal – fired heating as an example, coal burns fully in the combustion furnace to generate high – temperature air. This hot air is then transported through pipes into the drum of the dryer, with the temperature usually ranging from 200℃ to 600℃.
  • As the drum rotates, the sawdust is constantly raised under the action of the lifting plate, and it is in full contact with the hot air of the drum. The hot air transfers its own heat to the sawdust, causing the moisture in the sawdust to evaporate into water vapor.
  • During this process, the sawdust is heat exchanged with hot air for multiple times, and the moisture content of the sawdust is finally reduced to 15%, and the material is extracted through wind transportation to facilitate subsequent pelletizing.

Factors Affecting the Performance of Sawdust Dryer Machine

The performance of a sawdust dryer machine for sale depends on several key factors that directly influence drying speed, energy efficiency, and the final moisture content of the material. Understanding these factors is essential for selecting the right model and optimizing your production process.

  • Hot-air temperature and wind speed: Higher temperatures and faster wind speeds can accelerate drying. However, excessive heat may affect pellet quality, so it’s important to maintain a balance between speed and product integrity.
  • Sawdust humidity and particle size: Higher moisture content or larger particle sizes will require longer drying times to reach the target moisture level.
  • Equipment structure and configuration: The design of the drum—such as its inclination angle and rotational speed—directly affects the residence time of the material and thus the drying effect.

With professional design and precise control systems, RICHI’s sawdust dryer for sale ensures efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly operation. To achieve optimal results, users should select the appropriate model based on specific production needs, including raw material moisture and expected output.

Why use a sawdust dryer machine

Why use a sawdust dryer machine?

Effectively improve resource utilization and reduce waste

As a by-product of wood processing, sawdust usually contains about 50% moisture. If it is not properly dried, the sawdust is prone to mold, deterioration, and even pollution, making it difficult to store and transport. This not only causes a waste of precious biomass resources, but also seriously affects the subsequent pelletizing process.
The use of sawdust dryer can reduce the moisture content of sawdust to about 15%, effectively solve the storage problem, and lay a stable foundation for its further use in various industries.

Broaden the application scenarios and enhance the value of pellets

After drying, sawdust can be widely used in industries such as biomass pellet fuel production, wood board processing, and animal bedding. In biomass applications, dried sawdust is easier to press and shape to produce high calorific value and fully combustible pellet fuel, and the market demand is strong.
Whether you produce fuel or industrial boards, the sawdust dryer for sale can achieve standardization and stability of raw materials, thereby directly improving product quality and competitiveness.
