GEA gea.com GEA is a leading supplier of industrial drying systems and offers numerous sys-tems and technologies for drying wet solid feed materials. the client’s requirements up to a max-imum capacity of over 500,000 tons a year of product through a single drum. SOLAGEN www.solageninc.com They custom tailor systems for each customer based on proven technology as well as testing and development. GEA designed ring dryers are appropriate for biomass applications. They incorporate a centrifugal clas-sifier giving internal recirculation of semi-dried solids, effectively length-ening the retention time of larger particles in the dryer. Finer mate-rial, which dries rapidly, exits with exhaust air. TSI tsi-inc.net/biomasswood/ SolaGen’s has 30 years of experience developing exceptional drying systems with experienced process engineering and equipment designs that are tailored to suit the specific material and load to be dried. Features like bolt-in flighting, replaceable tracks, and drive teeth allow for greater longevity at a lower mainte-nance cost. Rotary dryer systems are available with industrial quality for continuous operation; single and triple pass designs with diameters up to 20 feet; high effi-ciency with integration of stack gas recycle techniques; and systems can be direct fired or can utilize waste heat as an energy source. SolaGen utilizes proprietary com-puter software that accurately models a system’s mass/energy balance, which assists engineers in making the correct process sizing decisions so that actual performance meets, or exceeds, client’s expectations. Our competitors say we’re old and slow to change. That our machines are ugly. That we’re not on the cutting edge. We say, “Yup.” “Old” means we’ve been around for over 100 years—and we’ll be here for 100 more. “Slow to change” means we don’t do fads. Oh, we’ll turn on a dime to make changes that our customers need. But fads? Nah. We’d rather protect your investment. “Not cutting edge” means we’re proven. We build what works and we stick with it. And “ugly”? Well. You don’t need to be pretty to make a damn good pellet mill. TSI manufacturers rotary drum dryers for wood pellet plants. The advanced technology incorporated into the TSI design ensures gentle drying, with the wood chips not exceeding much above 100 C throughout the process. This retains maximum energy in the product and creates a safe operating environ-ment. With gas recirculation and auto-matic classification within the drum these systems are highly energy efficient and offer an optimum cappex/produc-tivity ratio. TSI offers their dryers as part of a complete package (dryer islands) that incorporate heat energy systems and pollution control equipment, all from a single source. Drums are sized to meet GLOBAL BIOMASS GROUP Your Partner in Productivity For more news about the latest products and technologies for the wood pellet industry, visit www.canadianbiomassmagazine.ca.
