== | ==Characteristics== | ||
These Disc Dryers are pure contact dryers, heated by steam. The dryer is pre manufactured in workshop and has a small footprint comparing to convection dryers. The product will be mechanically conveyed through the dryer, which minimizes the demand for electrical energy. | These Disc Dryers are pure contact dryers, heated by steam.

== | ==Principle== | ||
Inside the dryer the double-walled discs are sitting on a central tube which are heated by steam from the inside. The product is continuously circulated in the rotating disk bundle, and shovels fixed at the circumference transport the product axially through the disc bundle dryers. Scrapers that are fixed between the discs ensure thorough mixing of the product and also prevent product from sticking to the discs. Indirect heating allows a gentle and environmentally friendly drying process. | Inside the dryer the double-walled discs are sitting on a central tube which are heated by steam from the inside.
