Continuous Belt Dryer

Introduction

Kerone’s continuous belt dryer are engineered with decades of expertise to provide reliable, efficient, and precise drying solutions for food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. These dryers leverage advanced heat transfer and airflow technologies to ensure consistent drying, improved product quality, and energy savings. Each design is tailored to industrial requirements, offering flexibility, automation, and superior performance.

A Continuous Belt Dryer is an industrial drying system in which the material to be dried is conveyed through a drying chamber on one or more permeable, endless belts, while drying air is circulated through the product bed either in the same direction as product flow (co-current), opposite to it (counter-current), or perpendicularly through the belt (through-circulation). This configuration provides gentle handling of fragile products, controllable residence time, and excellent adaptability to a wide range of product types and forms, including pastes, extrudates, granules, sliced food products, filter cakes, and fibrous materials. Continuous belt dryers are widely used in food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical production, biomass drying, and textile finishing.

Why Choose Kerone Continuous Belt Dryer

Kerone’s continuous belt dryer stand out for their process reliability, uniform drying performance, and adaptability to diverse materials. Our dryers are designed after comprehensive process analysis, ensuring optimal balance between drying rate, product quality, and energy consumption. With options for modular design and automatic control, these dryers provide seamless integration into modern production lines.
Belt materials are selected based on the product characteristics, with options including perforated stainless steel, polyester mesh, and PTFE-coated fiberglass for high-temperature or food applications. Kerone provides comprehensive scale-up services from pilot to production scale.

Types and Features of Continuous Belt Dryer

Kerone offers various configurations of continuous belt dryer, including continuous, semi-continuous, and batch models. The systems incorporate intelligent control interfaces, adjustable temperature zones, and multi-stage airflow management to accommodate diverse product characteristics. Available in stainless steel and mild steel construction, these dryers are designed for hygiene, durability, and consistent operation under demanding industrial conditions.
Kerone manufactures Continuous Belt Dryers in single-pass and multi-pass configurations. Single-Pass Belt Dryers are the simplest design, transporting product on a single horizontal belt through a linear drying chamber; they are suitable for products that can form a stable, permeable bed on the belt without bridging or falling through. Multi-Pass Belt Dryers stack two or more belts in a cascading arrangement within a compact housing, with the product transferring between belts at each stage; they provide a longer residence time in a smaller floor space. Multi-Stage Belt Dryers connect two or more separate belt dryers in series, each optimized for a specific stage of the drying curve. Impingement Belt Dryers direct high-velocity hot air jets directly onto the product surface through nozzle arrays above and below the belt, providing very high heat transfer rates for surface moisture removal in paper, nonwoven fabric, and coated substrate applications. Cooling zones can be incorporated at the dryer exit to reduce product temperature before discharge.
