Three Pass Sand Dryer
Tongding’s triple cylinder rotary dryer is a core product integrating multiple invention patents. The three‑stage design ensures maximum heat exchange: the multi‑fold lifting plates inside the inner cylinder create a dense sand curtain for first‑stage drying; the serrated plates in the middle cylinder re‑scatter the material for second‑stage drying; the outer cylinder conveys and finishes the drying process.
Features:
- Capacity: 3-120 T/H (Customizable)
- Moisture Reduction: 25% → 3%
- Heat Source: Coal / Gas / Biomass
- Powdery materials: (1)Construction sands: river sand, sea sand, yellow sand, quartz sand, foundry sandplate sand, steel sand, fracturing sand; (2)Mineral & mining materials: tailings sand, copper ore sand, iron ore sand, coloredsand, fluorite powder, potash feldspar powder, sodium feldspar powder. (3)And other building materials sands and industrial bulk materials. Process: Drying → Dust Collection → Screening.

Common Problems in Traditional Sand Drying
Many sand plants face these issues:
- High fuel consumption
- Low drying efficiency
- Sand blockage inside drum
- Uneven moisture content
- Excessive dust pollution
- Frequent belt deviation
- Low production capacity
- High maintenance cost
Tongding Three Pass Dryer is specially designed to solve these industrial drying problems.
Advantages of Tongding Three Pass Sand Dryer
1. Triple Cylinder Structure
The material passes through inner cylinder, middle cylinder and outer cylinder, maximizing heat exchange efficiency and reducing heat loss.
2. Multi-Bending Lifting Plates
Special patented lifting plates create a “sand waterfall” effect, ensuring full contact between hot air and sand. Drying efficiency increased by 4.5 times.
3. Stable Operation
Unique internal structure keeps the drum balanced during operation. No belt deviation. Lower maintenance rate.
4. Fuel Saving Design
Advanced thermal insulation and airflow design reduce fuel consumption by 30%.
5. Anti-Blocking System
Large kiln head and serrated lifting plates prevent wet sand sticking and material blockage.
6. Long Service Life
Wear-resistant alloy steel and forging technology improve durability by 3-5 times compared with ordinary materials.
7. Intelligent Automatic Control
PLC automatic control system optional. Easy operation and reduced labor cost.
8. Strong After-Sales Service
Free layout design, Installation guidance, Engineer overseas service, 24/7 online support, Spare parts support.
Working Principle of Three Pass Sand Dryer
- Wet sand enters the dryer through the belt feeder.
- The material first enters the inner cylinder, where the lifting plates continuously disperse the sand to form a sand curtain.
- Then the material moves into the middle cylinder and outer cylinder for repeated drying and heat exchange.
- Finally, the dry sand enters the discharge hopper after reaching the target moisture level.
The triple-pass structure greatly increases heat utilization and drying efficiency.
