Conveyor Belt Heat Pump Dryer 

The Conveyor Belt Heat Pump Dryer integrates a driven mesh or perforated belt transport system with a closed-loop heat pump dehumidification circuit to provide a continuous, through-circulation drying platform that is particularly well-suited to granular, pelletised, sliced, or uniformly distributed product forms. In this configuration, wet product is spread in a controlled layer depth across the belt width at the dryer inlet and is conveyed at a set speed through a temperature and humidity-managed drying enclosure, during which conditioned hot, dry air is directed through the product layer in a transverse or cross-flow pattern to achieve uniform moisture extraction from both the surface and the interior of the product mass. Kerone Engineering Solutions engineers the belt dryer’s air distribution system with engineered plenum chambers above and below the belt, ensuring that air velocity through the product layer remains uniform across the full belt width and length, preventing wet pockets or over-dried hot spots that would compromise final product quality. The heat pump circuit continuously dehumidifies the recirculating air mass and returns it to the drying zone, providing a thermodynamically efficient closed-loop system with low per-unit drying costs.
