摘要： Moisture is removed from particulate material using an apparatus comprising a dryer having a drying chamber for directing a flow of gas-entrained particulate material between first and second ends of the drying chamber. The dryer is configured for directing gas under pressure into the drying chamber, for interacting with a flow of gas-entrained particulate material within the drying chamber. The dryer comprises a body of modular construction, which defines a plurality of guide passages arranged for fluid communication between the drying chamber and a source of gas under pressure. The body of modular construction comprises a plurality of discrete annular elements, arranged in series, one adjacent another, each having a body defining a central aperture, and wherein the annular elements are arranged together with the central apertures aligned.

摘要： An apparatus 100 for removing moisture from particulate material is provided. The apparatus 100 comprises a master chamber 102 having a master inlet 104 for the supply of gas to the master chamber 102. The apparatus 100 further includes a plurality of drying chambers 106 at least partially arranged within the master chamber 102. Each drying chamber 106 that is at least partially arranged within the master chamber 102 has a first end and a second end, wherein each drying chamber 106 is configured for directing a flow of gas-entrained particulate material between said first and second ends of the drying chamber 106. Each drying chamber 106 includes a plurality of dryer inlets for directing gas from the master chamber 102 into the drying chamber 106, for interacting with said flow of gas-entrained particulate material within the drying chamber 106.
