Comprising of a steam tube bundle which rotates with the dryer shell, heating areas in excess of 1000 square metres are easily obtainable.

In general, the Rotary Steam Tube Dryer operates at a lower temperature than other types of dryers. It also rotates at a slower speed than other rotary dryers, which allows material to tumble gently through the heating tubes.

In addition, since the drying medium is steam within the tubes as opposed to the hot gas flow required with other rotary dryers, a lower air velocity through the dryer is required which reduces the amount of product carried through the dryer in the exhaust gas stream.
