Abstract
A centrifugal pellet dryer is provided which has a housing, a generally cylindrical mesh member vertically disposed within the housing and a rotor that is coaxial with the mesh member. The rotor has lifters which tend to move a slurry of pellets and water upwardly and outwardly relative to the cylindrical mesh member so that water moving radially through the mesh member is separated from the pellets which are retained by the mesh member. The rotor has a hollow interior portion that communicates with the bottom of the rotor so that the slurry of pellets of water are introduced into the dryer through the hollow interior of the rotating rotor. The slurry of pellets and water is distributed uniformly about the periphery of the mesh member by the rotating rotor and the rotation of the rotor enhances the centrifugal force of the slurry to initially dewater the slurry more effectively as the water moves radially outwardly through the mesh member.
