FLIGHT DESIGN I N ROTARY DRYERS
It is reasoned that the EHD flights, which have an equal distribution of particles across the horizontal diameter of the rotary drum dryer, give the optimum distribution in the context of the heat and mass transfer operations of the rotary drying process. An industrial design which approximates the optimum flight design is suggested.

Industrial Rotary Dryer Design and Capabilities
One of the most important aspects of rotary dryer design is the flight. Also called material lifters or shoveling plats, these implements affect performance significantly. Flights scoop material from the bottom of the drum, causing it to shower through the gas stream while it rotates. This helps maximize heat transfer efficiency by forcing the ...

The flight design inside the rotary dryer is also engineered around the material's unique characteristics. The objective with flight design is to create the ideal "curtain" of material. The curtain refers to the span of material created as the material is dropped from the flights, through the drying air. Ideally, the curtain will span the width ...
An analysis of optimal segmented flight design in a rotary dryer
In this paper, an analysis of the optimal design for two-segmented flight is performed with the aim to obtain some practical recommendations for the design of a rotary dryer. Using a geometrical model, validated with experimental results, flight loading and unloading are studied over the range of every possible angle between the flight segments.

FLIGHT DESIGN I N ROTARY DRYERS
ABSTRACT The effectiveness of the rotary drum drying process depends primarily on the contact between the cascading particles and the drying gases within the drum. This paper considers first the factors which contribute to the cascade pattern and which influence the design of the lifting flights which distribute the particles in the top half of the drum. A generalised …

For granular materials with low flowability, the spiral flights have been positioned at the beginning (near the feed) and end of the drum (near the discharge) to accelerate the material flow [29]. When the material characteristics change significantly during drying, the flight design can be changed along the dryer length [31,32].
