Imperial and Band Dryers

Introduction

Hot air is circulated from downward or upward or in a combination of both in order to improve equality in treatment. Band dryers are commonly fitted with the feeding, spreading, cleaning, heating and cooling sections. Band dryer designed and crafted by Kerone are suitable for any type of product like fragile, sticky, pasty products or products requiring long and accurate residence time.
With over four decades of expertise, Kerone has established itself as a global leader in designing and manufacturing imperial and band dryers tailored to industrial needs. The imperial and band dryers are engineered to provide rapid and efficient drying through innovative heat transfer methods, ensuring precise moisture control and uniform output quality.

Why Choose Kerone Imperial and Band Dryers

Kerone’s imperial and band dryers stand out for their engineering precision, energy optimization, and adaptability to various industrial materials. Every system is designed with deep process understanding, ensuring reduced operational costs, enhanced product quality, and sustainable performance.
At Kerone, we produce high quality band dryers which are belongs to family of continuous conventional heat transfer type dryer. Imperial and Band dryers consist of conveyor belts mounted one above the other like multi stacks. Multilayer helps in achieving long residence time, multi-pass units in limited floor space. Multiple modular sections with independent heating and air circulation system are used to created Band dryers. The commonly used continuous band dryer encompasses of single pass conveyor employing through air circulation.

Types and Features of Imperial and Band Dryers

Kerone provides multiple variants of imperial and band dryers to cater to diverse production requirements. Depending on the drying principle and operational needs, these dryers may be configured for high-speed air flow, rotary motion, or continuous conveyance systems.
Each dryer integrates advanced control systems for temperature, air velocity, and residence time, ensuring precise drying for different materials from food powders to chemical compounds.
