How to select activated carbon drying equipment?

2025-08-07View Original

Thread Content

I would like to ask fellow sea freight professionals: Activated carbon with a moisture content of 60–70% (both granular and powdered form) needs to be dried to a moisture content of less than 30%. Approximately 5,000–8,000 tons of such carbon need to be dried each year. Which type of drying equipment offers the best cost-performance ratio?

Recommended solution: Belt dryer + waste heat recovery system. Reason: Wide applicability – The belt dryer can process both granular carbon and powdered carbon, and by adjusting the speed and temperature of the conveyor belt, it can adapt to different moisture levels (especially suitable for staged drying of materials with high moisture content). The multi-layer mesh belt design reduces the fragmentation rate (pelletized carbon), while the sealed structure prevents dust from escaping (powdered carbon). Energy-efficient and low-cost: Heat is supplied by coal or biomass hot air stoves (low initial investment, operating cost of around 30–50 yuan per ton of water evaporated). Installing a waste heat recovery system can save 20%-30% in energy consumption, further reducing energy use. Capacity matching: Medium-sized equipment (with a bandwidth of 2–3 meters and 4–5 layers) can handle 1–2 tons per hour per unit; 2–3 such units are sufficient to meet annual demand. Easy maintenance: Simple structure and low failure rate, making it suitable for continuous production environments.

Excuse me, friends, are you manufacturers?
