Seaweed Drum Dryer 

Kerone’s Seaweed Drum Dryers are engineered with marine biomass-specific design features that address the unique challenges of drying seaweed in a rotary drum — including the tendency of seaweed pieces to tangle and form dense mats that resist airflow, the high salt content that accelerates corrosion, and the need to balance high drying temperatures for throughput against potential Maillard browning and bioactive degradation at excessive temperatures. Kerone’s drum internals — including lifter flights, breaker bars, and chain sections — are specifically designed to prevent seaweed matting and ensure consistent cascading and airflow contact, delivering uniform drying without hot spots or clumping. The drum shell, flights, and supporting structure are all fabricated from SS304 or SS316 stainless steel with corrosion-resistant bearings and seals appropriate for the marine saline environment. Kerone’s drum dryers can be configured for direct-fired (gas or oil burner), indirect steam-heated, or hot air heat exchanger heating depending on product-grade requirements.
