Bioenergy and recycling operators dry sawdust, wood chips, bark, bagasse, rice husk, palm fibre, straw, energy grasses, RDF, digestate and food waste before pelleting, gasification or firing. Wet biomass has a low net calorific value and will not pellet properly, while drying recyclables such as PET flakes and rubber crumb readies them for reprocessing. GEM's Meshotherm and Aerodryve belt dryers and rotary dryers cover low-temperature and high-throughput duties.
For biomass, bioenergy & recycling, GEM dries 31 materials across 8 application areas. The dryers specified most often are the Mesh Belt Dryer (Meshotherm), Rotary Dryer and Rotary Tube Bundle Dryer, chosen per material after a pilot trial.
Woody biomass, agro residues, waste-derived fuels and recyclables make up the materials listed below.
Each material page names the recommended dryer and the alternatives. The machines below are the ones specified most often across the 31 materials for this industry.
Meshotherm belt dryers run at moderate air temperatures that suit waste heat from boilers, engines or flue gas and reduce fire risk compared with high-temperature drum drying.
Our Aerodryve hybrid combines belt drying with fluidisation, raising evaporation for very wet or bulky feeds such as bagasse, palm fibre and energy grasses.
Dryers are sized for the moisture your pellet mill, gasifier or boiler requires, and pellet coolers are available to complete the line.
We trial your material in our pilot facility before any equipment decision, then size the dryer from real data.
