Infrared Dryer

INFRARED PROCESS

Infrared Dryer IRD

The infrared dryer (IRD) is an innovative technology that specializes in the heating and drying of various bulk materials.

The efficient infrared technology brings energy directly into the material, which speeds up the process and saves energy. The IRD is particularly effective at high input moisture above 1%.

Different sizes for different requirements:

  • IRD (for continuous processes)
  • IR-BATCH (for discontinuous processes)

Advantages

Processing in minutes

instead of hours

Direct start of production

no pre-heating required

Continuous process
Throughput range

from 20 kg/h to 5,000 kg/h

Excellent mixing behavior
Constant output moisture
Suitable for high and varying input moisture
Recipes can be stored in the control system
Various rotary drum designs available
Efficient energy balance
No sticking of the material
Easy to clean
High flexibility
Low spare parts costs

How the IRD works

The infrared dryer (IRD) brings heat directly into the core of the material by means of short-wave infrared light. The energy in the core heats the material from the inside out, so the moisture is driven from the inside to the outside of the product, which is then discharged by air circulation. The material remains constantly in motion due to rotation of the drum, which ensures optimal mixing, and the material is heated homogeneously. The low rotational speed of the drum enables gentle handling, avoiding damage to the material.

Automation

Touch_screen

The infrared dryer (IRD) uses an integrated PLC control with a touchscreen for precise process control. Sensors and pyrometers monitor material and exhaust air temperatures, with deviations automatically adjusted. The control system allows recipes to be saved and offers remote maintenance options.

Continuous processes with IRD

Capacity in the range of 40 to 2,000 kg/h*

*The size of the machine depends on the process and the characteristics of the product to be treated

Discontinuous processes with IR-BATCH

Capacity in the range of 50 to 250 l/Batch*

*The size of the machine depends on the process and the characteristics of the product to be treated
