Even when drying raw material slurry, KENKI DRYER, which has already been granted an international patent, can demonstrate its full potential. Even if the material is highly adhesive or sticky, it will not clog the dryer and can be dried without problems even if it is in liquid form, allowing stable operation. Since saturated steam is used as the heat source and drying is performed at low temperatures, the components of the material being dried do not change and the material can be dried evenly, so there are no problems at all in drying the material. The heat source for drying in KENKI DRYER is only saturated steam. It uses a revolutionary drying method that combines conduction heat transfer and hot air, and is superior in terms of safety and hygiene. It is also able to dry the inside of the drying object to a sufficient degree thanks to its internationally patented technology, and after drying, it is discharged in a very stable and uniform state. It can operate unattended for 24 hours without the need for manual labor. If you replace your conventional box-type shelf drying system with KENKI DRYER, you will find that drying becomes much easier and you will be freed from the tedious task of drying.

KENKI DRYER dries at low temperatures, so there is little change in the components of the material being dried, making it completely safe to use for drying raw materials. After drying, there is little change in the components of the material being dried, so it can be shipped as a finished product. In addition, after drying, the material to be dried is evenly dried, so a stable product can be produced.

Even if the material to be dried has strong adhesion or stickiness and is difficult to dry, KENKI DRYER can dry it easily and evenly. Depending on the type of dryer, slurry materials with strong adhesion or stickiness may become clogged during drying and may not be able to be dried. KENKI DRYER uses a unique mechanism, which is patented worldwide, to enable the smooth drying of any slurry with high adhesion or stickiness, even if it has a high moisture content, without clogging inside the dryer.

KENKI DRYER, which has 11 patents in 8 countries, is an indirect steam dryer, but it is a completely unique product with a different structure from other indirect steam dryers. Direct-fired dryers, which use burners, etc., emit carbon dioxide, which is bad for the environment and goes against the trend of decarbonization. KENKI DRYER uses steam as its heat source, but because the drying heat efficiency is good, the amount of steam used is small, so you can use the steam you currently use, and if you use excess or surplus steam, there is no fuel cost, and when drying, no carbon dioxide is emitted from the dryer, so you can dry without carbon dioxide. Alternatively, by installing electric boilers or hydrogen fuel boilers, there is no generation of global warming gases or carbon dioxide CO2 at all during drying.
In addition, there are no problems after start-up, and the rotation speed of the dryer’s main body blades is very slow at 5 RPM or less, so there is little wear and tear on parts, making maintenance easy and inexpensive. The KENKI DRYER is a continuous drying system that stores the product to be dried and is not a batch system. As a result, it is easy to manage and can operate unattended 24 hours a day. No human labor is required to install KENKI DRYER.

Competitive comparison

One of the International Patented Technology that KENKI DRYER has is a self-cleaning structure called Steam Heated Twin Screw technology (SHTS technology). No matter how materials are sticky, adhesive and viscous is, they can be dried without clogging inside of the dryer because of this unique structure that no other products has.
For example, even materials stuck to the blades of one screw, blades of the other screw in the dryer’s body forcibly peels the materials off as they rotate. Since the blades rotate by peeling the material off each other, any sticky, adhesive and viscous material does not adhere to the blade, and the blades continue rotating, peeling, agitating and heating material without stopping while they carries material further. Also, since surface of blades are always renewed and kept clean, heat near the blades is not blocked and it is conducted directly into the materials.

Self-cleaning screw

KENKI DRYER has three main characteristics. They are 1) Any materials can be dried as expected including sticky, adhesive and viscous materials and raw material slurry that no other company can deal with, 2) dried material can by recycled or utilized as raw materials because of its low-temperature drying method, and 3) there is no need to assign operator since its continuous operating system makes 24 hours unattended operation possible.

Products

The unique and original drying mechanism of KENKI DRYER is also International Patented Technology. Because 4 drying mechanisms which are crashing drying, agitation drying, circulation drying and indirect drying work simultaneously and add heat to material being dried repeatedly and continuously, inner part of the material is dried thoroughly and quality of discharged material after drying is stable. This series of drying mechanisms prevents agglomeration which causes insufficient drying from feeding process of the material into the dryer until discharging process after drying completed. Various ingenuities to conduct heat surely into inner part of the materials are exercised and stable heating and drying are proceeded continuously.

Methods

Even KENKI DRYER uses only saturated steam as its heat source, it is outstanding in safety and hygiene point of view with its unique drying mechanism based on combined use of conductive heat transfer method and heated air method. Since steam is a stable heat source, quality of discharged material after drying is also stable and equable. Maximum allowed steam pressure is 0.7Mpa and adjustment of steam pressure, adjustment of drying temperature in other words, can be easily done. Saturated steam is commonly used in many factories so that it can be said as a familiar and handy heat source. In comparison with drying methods using burner or hot blasts, saturated steam method is an indirect drying applying heat exchange via pipes that steam is passing through, therefore, it hardly burns the materials and is outstanding in safety and hygiene point of view.

Why is Drying Slurry Difficult?

Drying slurry is challenging due to its high moisture content, adhesive nature, and non-uniform composition. The following factors make slurry drying complex:

1. High Moisture Content – Slurry consists of a large proportion of water, requiring efficient moisture removal techniques to achieve proper drying without excessive energy consumption.

2. Adhesiveness and Stickiness – Many slurry raw materials, such as wastewater sludge or food processing residues, have high adhesion properties, causing clogging and operational issues in conventional dryers.

3. Non-Uniform Particle Size – Slurry often contains a mix of fine and coarse particles, leading to uneven drying and difficulty in achieving consistent results.

4. Risk of Material Degradation – Some slurry raw materials are sensitive to high temperatures, and excessive heat can alter their composition, making low-temperature drying essential.

5. Potential for Clogging – Many traditional drying systems experience clogging due to the viscous nature of slurry, leading to inefficient operation and high maintenance costs.
