Kumera Steam Dryer

Drying is necessary in many smelting technologies; for example, flash smelting processes of copper and nickel production. Steam is normally available from a waste-heat boiler, serving Kumera Steam Dryer, but it can also be obtained from a recovery boiler of the acid plant at the smelter.

Benefits of the Kumera Steam Dryer

high capacity of concentrate feed rate at 240 t/h
high capacity of water evaporation rate at up to 25 t/h
very high energy efficiency
lowest specific energy consumption of any dryers
zero gas emission, i.e. CO2, SO2, NOX,
lowest dust emission rate due to low gas flow rate
lowest operational expenses of any dryer
lowest need for maintenance of any dryer
highest availability of any concentrate dryer
due to almost complete in-house manufacturing also very challenging delivery times can be met

Kumera Steam Dryer is a patented solution for drying copper concentrates and other abrasive materials. The construction has unique features, which allow high availability and consume less energy. Through Kumera Steam Dryer, a copper smelter can reduce the harmful emissions such as CO2, SO2, NOx and dust.
