Carousel Dryer TK

Carousel Dryer TK series is advanced equipment designed for uniform and gentle drying of pellets, grains and granulated products. The system is based on a multi-level construction with rotating perforated decks that ensure all products pass through identical drying conditions, achieving exceptional uniformity and high quality of the final product.

The vertical compact design saves up to 70% of floor space compared to horizontal systems, while the counterflow heating system provides 30–40% energy savings. The ideal solution for producers demanding top quality, efficiency and reliability.

How It Works

Drying Process (Step by Step)

1

Material Inlet

Wet material enters through the top rotary valve (airlock) onto the first deck

2

Levelling

Material is automatically spread evenly across the deck surface

3

Rotation

The deck rotates slowly (1–3 rpm) for uniform drying

4

Tilting

At fixed points the deck automatically tilts for transfer

5

Transfer

Material gently slides to the next deck below without damage

6

Counterflow Heating

Hot air passes upward through perforated decks

7

Multiple Passes

The process repeats through 4–8 decks for optimum drying

8

Outlet

Dried material exits through the bottom rotary valve ready for packaging

Features

Key Features

Multi-Stage System

4-8 rotating decks with perforated surfaces for optimal airflow. Material in stainless steel 304/316 or carbon steel.

Tilting Mechanism

Automatic tilting at fixed points for gentle transfer without product damage. PLC-controlled with adjustable parameters.

Counterflow System

Air moves upward, product downward. Maximum heat transfer efficiency with 30–40% energy savings.

Rotacioni Ventili

Inlet, intermediate and outlet valves with airlock function prevent heat loss and enable continuous flow.

Automatic Control

PLC controller with HMI touch screen interface, temperature sensors, data logging and recipe management.

Compact Design

Vertical stacking saves up to 70% of floor space compared to horizontal systems. Ideal for limited space.

Gentle Process

Slow rotation without vibration or mechanical stress. Less than 2% broken pellets, preserving product integrity.

Higijenski Dizajn

Easy cleaning and maintenance. Option of stainless steel and CIP (Clean-In-Place) system for complete hygiene.

Quick Product Changeover

Only one deck for discharge, 10–15 minutes for changeover. Minimal downtime, ideal for multi-product lines.
