Why the dryer defines product quality
Briquette strength, water resistance and shelf life all come from proper drying. A mesh belt dryer carries wet briquettes through heated zones on a moving belt, drying gently enough to avoid cracks while removing moisture to under 3–5%. Sun drying works until volume or rainy season makes it the bottleneck.
Key parameters to define
- Wet briquette input per hour from your press line.
- Initial and target moisture content.
- Heat source: coal, gas, biomass or electric hot-air furnace.
- Briquette fragility — belt speed and temperature zones.
- Space and ventilation available at your site.
Typical configuration ranges
| Item | Common options | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Belt width | Single or multi-layer belts | 1.2–3 m |
| Drying capacity | By moisture removal needed | 1–20 t/h briquettes |
| Drying time | Belt speed and zones | 1–4 hours |
| Heat source | Hot-air furnace by fuel type | Per local fuel cost |
Ranges are indicative. Dryer sizing follows evaporation calculation, not belt size alone.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Moisture basis | What inlet/outlet moisture is the capacity rated on? |
| Fuel | Fuel consumption per tonne of water removed? |
| Cracking | Temperature zone control to prevent briquette cracks? |
| Dust | Dust collection at feed and discharge included? |
| Scope | Furnace, fans, control cabinet and installation included? |
