Rotary Drum Dryer is the industrial dryer employed to reduce or minimize the liquid moisture content of the material with CE.

The rotary dryer is a type of industrial dryer employed to reduce or minimize the liquid moisture content of the material. The dryer is made up of a large, rotating cylindrical tube, usually supported by steel beams. The dryer slopes slightly so that the discharge end is lower than the material feed end in order to convey the material through the dryer under gravity. Material to be dried enters the dryer, and as the dryer rotates, the material is lifted up by a series of internal fins lining the inner wall of the dryer. When the material gets high enough to roll back off the fins, it falls back down to the bottom of the dryer, passing through the hot air as it falls. This air can either be moving toward the discharge end from the feed end (known as co-current flow), or toward the feed end from the discharge end (known as counter-current flow). The hot air can
