Problem

• The client needed to remove the final fraction of moisture from coal tar pitch, where even small variations can impact downstream product performance.
• The process required high throughput, uniform drying, and tight moisture control.
• Overheating had to be avoided to protect product quality.

Proposed Solution

• Gem Drytech supplied a continuous mesh belt dryer using steam as the heating medium.
• The product was spread uniformly over the belt and passed through controlled drying zones with optimized airflow.
• The system delivered gradual, uniform moisture removal while maintaining steady process temperatures.

Result

• Moisture was reduced from 3% to 0.3% at 8000 kg/hr continuous capacity.
• Product quality became more stable and uniform.
• The line operated without production bottlenecks and required minimal manual intervention.
• Steam heating supported efficient energy use and reliable operation.

Conclusion

For large-scale chemical drying where low final moisture and consistent quality are essential, continuous mesh belt drying offers strong control, throughput, and operational reliability.

Applicability

Suitable for high-throughput chemical applications requiring uniform drying and controlled thermal treatment.
