Reliable and compact drive solutions for drum washers and drum dryers

The drum of a rotary drum washer consists of round stainless steel rings that are welded together at equal intervals using angle bars for reinforcement. In the paper industry, drum washers are used to clean and compress pulp: With a stock consistency of 4 - 6 %, the pulp is pumped into the feed area where it thickens to approximately 10 tons. The pulp is then washed at this consistency and dewatered via a vacuum in the thickening area. The stock consistency now increases to approx. 15 %. An adjustable slider at the discharge of the machine regulates the time that the product remains in the drum washer. This achieves the desired result and the maximum performance of the machine.

For the central drive system that rotates the drum washer or the drum dryer, we offer you the right solutions - with the reliable and quickly available planetary industrial gearboxes from the P series and the XP series and the helical-bevel industrial gearboxes of the X series . Equip your drive system to suit your operating conditions: From the gearbox and motor to the coupling and other options, we offer all components from a single source.

Maximum performance for drum dryers: with our industrial gearbox solutions

The drum dryer is an industrial dryer consisting of a large cylindrical rotating tube. This is usually mounted on concrete supports or steel girders. The drum dryer has been used for decades to dry various goods and is widely used in the construction, minerals and raw materials industries. Direct contact with a heated gas reduces the moisture content of the processed material. With very heat-resistant materials, such as quartz sand, the gas can also burn inside the rotary drum. For more sensitive materials, such as limestone, clay, recycled plastics or organic waste, combustion chambers are used. Drum dryers are designed for solids with a throughput of 5 to 150 t/h.

Our drive packages with planetary and helical-bevel industrial gearboxes help you to operate drum dryers safely and efficiently. Thanks to an effective cooling system, our package solutions are particularly durable - and thanks to our modular system, they are always precisely tailored to the requirements of your application.
