Tema Process use drying air temperatures up to 600°C, having this results in greater evaporation per square metre of bed without an increase in air volume. This in turn reduces the power consumption per tonne of product dried and improves fuel efficiency. The dryer design must take the special operating conditions into account; specifically, the incoming air chamber must be constructed of steel resistant to high temperatures, sharp corners and edges must be avoided, the structure must be free to expand freely and the whole unit must be efficiently thermally insulated.
