Rare earth concentrate drying
Controlled concentrate drying prior to roasting and acid bake processing
Controlled concentrate drying prior to roasting and acid bake processing
Concentrate drying is an essential preparation step within the rare earth processing route. By transforming moist concentrate into a stable and free-flowing product, subsequent roasting or acid bake processing can proceed under controlled and predictable conditions.
When processed correctly, the dried concentrate is also suitable for dust-free transport, allowing it to be handled safely, stored securely and delivered for further downstream processing.
Ingetecsa’s Spiral Flash Dryer is specifically designed for controlled drying of rare earth concentrates. The system transforms moist concentrate into a stable and free-flowing product suitable for roasting or acid bake processing while maintaining precise moisture control under variable operating conditions.
This performance is enabled by the unique spiral flow design, which ensures intensive contact between hot gas and particles while maintaining stable product quality. The Spiral Flash Dryer is designed to handle variations in feed moisture, particle size distribution and throughput without compromising drying consistency.
Rare earth concentrates are often abrasive, dusty and variable in composition. As a static technology with no moving parts in the hot zone, the Spiral Flash Dryer provides exceptional reliability, high uptime and low maintenance requirements under demanding operating conditions.
The self-supported and compact design simplifies and speeds up outdoor installation, inspection and maintenance while minimising structural requirements.
