Why Gypsum need to be drying?

Gypsum Dryer Introduction

After gypsum ore is extracted from mines or quarries, it is crushed and stockpiled as needed. If the gypsum ore’s moisture content is greater than 0.5 weight percent, then the material requires drying. A gypsum dryer is commonly used to reduce the moisture content of the ore to the necessary level. The heavy-duty, high volume functionality of a gypsum dryer makes it an ideal drying solution when drying gypsum. In addition, the lifting flights within the rotating drum shower the gypsum through heated air streams, uniformly drying the material as it travels through the dryer.

The benefits of drying gypsum

1. Drying gypsum hardens the material and avoids congesting equipment in future steps.

2. he drying process prevents material handling issues such as clumping. Drying also forms a strong pellet that is capable of breaking down quickly.

3. The tumbling action within the gypsum dryer rounds and polishes the pellet, creating a uniform product.
