Mining, mineral and ceramic producers dry clay, kaolin, bentonite, limestone, silica and foundry sand, gypsum, ore fines, flotation concentrates, coal and battery materials. Moisture affects freight cost, smelter acceptance, milling efficiency and how powders flow and press. These materials are abrasive, heavy and often dusty. GEM supplies rotary, cascade, flash and paddle dryers to suit coarse lumps, fine powders and sticky concentrates alike.
For minerals, mining & ceramics, GEM dries 29 materials across 5 application areas. The dryers specified most often are the Rotary Dryer, Flash Dryer and Paddle Dryer, chosen per material after a pilot trial.
Ores, concentrates, industrial minerals, sands, ceramic powders and mine residues are listed below with the dryer types we apply to each.
Each material page names the recommended dryer and the alternatives. The machines below are the ones specified most often across the 29 materials for this industry.
Rotary and cascade dryers handle heavy, abrasive and coarse feeds continuously, with flights and shell design selected for the wear characteristics of your material.
Flash dryers dry fine filter cakes and powders in seconds and deliver them directly to the dust collector, suiting kaolin, calcium carbonate and precipitated minerals.
Paddle and indirect rotary dryers handle concentrates and hydroxide cakes that stick, keeping material moving through the sticky phase without excessive dusting.
We trial your material in our pilot facility before any equipment decision, then size the dryer from real data.
Describe it in the form, or message an engineer directly.
