SCOTT:   Air Swept Tubular (AST) Dryer

The Scott Equipment Air Swept Tubular (AST) Dryer is a pneumatic drying system designed for rugged duty and versatility in many industries.

The Scott Equipment Air Swept Tubular (AST) Dryer is a pneumatic drying system designed for rugged duty and versatility in many industries. The new, patented drying technology, utilizes adjustable paddles and air dams to create optimum air to solids heat transfer. Even slurries with dry solids content as low as 5% can be dried efficiently to as high as 99% dry solids in a single pass through the flash dryer.

The agitation provided by Scott's AST Dryer allows hot air to mix with the wet product entering the dryer inlet, reducing the drying time and breaking up lumps. Materials ranging from filter cakes, thixotropes, and dilatant slurries to powders and granules can be effectively dried in the AST Drying System.

Features & Benefits:

• Patented agitator design incorporates intense mixing, grinding and deagglomerating action
• BTUs consumed per dry ton are 10-20% less than most existing dryers due to high heat transfer coefficients through velocity and agitation
• Can process material ranging from pulverized powders with less than 1% moisture to granules with moisture content as high as 15%
• Single pass drying even with slurries up to 95% moisture
• Low capital cost and ruggedly designed for years of trouble-free operation
• Custom designed to meet required specifications
• The ability to adjust product retention time for hard to dry material
