Problem
- The client needed to remove the final fraction of moisture from coal tar pitch, where even small variations can impact downstream product performance.
- The process required high throughput, uniform drying, and tight moisture control.
- Overheating had to be avoided to protect product quality.
Proposed Solution
- Gem Drytech supplied a continuous mesh belt dryer using steam as the heating medium.
- The product was spread uniformly over the belt and passed through controlled drying zones with optimized airflow.
- The system delivered gradual, uniform moisture removal while maintaining steady process temperatures.
Result
- Moisture was reduced from 3% to 0.3% at 8000 kg/hr continuous capacity.
- Product quality became more stable and uniform.
- The line operated without production bottlenecks and required minimal manual intervention.
- Steam heating supported efficient energy use and reliable operation.
Conclusion
For large-scale chemical drying where low final moisture and consistent quality are essential, continuous mesh belt drying offers strong control, throughput, and operational reliability.
Applicability
Suitable for high-throughput chemical applications requiring uniform drying and controlled thermal treatment.
