The above chart shows the typical evaporation rates when drum drying most materials. The steam pressure used is 7 bar g.
The two curves show that there can be a large difference between materials easy to dry and those difficult to dry.
This is why we recommend performing tests on new products, so that we can accurately size production dryers.
