ABOUT US

Drytech was established with the purpose of providing tailored thermal drying solutions for the mineral, chemical and food industries. The company has developed over the last 30 years into a leading thermal process engineering company offering its clients tailored designed solutions and equipment to meet their processing requirements. This philosophy extends from pilot plant development and testing through to turnkey installations.

Through the years Drytech has developed a wealth of in-house expertise along with an extensive laboratory and pilot plant facility, where continual research and development of improving existing and developing new technologies are tested. Drytech has successfully developed numerous complex thermal processes ranging from mineral concentrate flash dryers to high-temperature reduction kilns and continuous vacuum dryers. Drytech has developed a strong reputation, both on the local market and international arena, for providing innovative design solutions to thermal processing problems and a reputation for providing robust and durable processing equipment.

Drytech has gained the reputation of being a world leader in concentrate drying. Drytech’s outstanding processing equipment is selected by the world’s leading mining houses to increase reliability and reduce operation costs, significantly enhancing the client’s profitability.

Drytech’s wide-ranging pilot plant facilities have engendered unique insights into the drying requirements of mineral concentrates. With a detailed understanding of the handling multiplicity of heat and mass transfer processing systems, Drytech’s range of innovative solutions is both productive and efficient.

Developments in furnace & smelting operations call for bone dry, free-flowing concentrate for material transport and injection into furnaces. Consistent, reliable and fully automated drying has become an integral part of every smelting operation.

Development and advances in flash drying and spray drying technology by Drytech has created a paradigm shift in dryer selection criteria for these applications. These advances in technology have proved that flash drying or spray drying, as well as their variations, are the preferred and recommended methods for drying mineral concentrates. Targeting the impossible, Drytech continues to refine, progress and develop new concepts for this application.

TECHNOLOGY

Drytech is unique in the industry in that it is not dedicated to any particular type of equipment or process, so it is not restricted in its approach to solving client process requirements. Drytech prides itself on solving processing problems using ‘a first principles’ design and development approach. This allows Drytech to offer a wide range of processing solutions.

To ensure Drytech technology development remains leading edge, in-house trials and R&D are carried out continuously. This enables Drytech to enhance current technology as well as devise new and innovative solutions for drying and thermal processing requirements. The final objective is to create the perfect balance between price, specification and performance. This includes criteria such as plant availability, wear, optimising maintenance, operator interaction, and fuel efficiency.

Drytech has become an internationally recognized partner due to its ability to focus on the development, engineering, construction and commissioning of turnkey installations.

Drytech’s success lies in the concept and design of its range of equipment, which provides high levels of performance, durability and economy. Although each system varies according to client’s specifications, state of the art technology has made the Drytech range of equipment the preferred choice for drying, calcining, cooling & similar thermal processing requirements around the world.

Cost-effective, flexible, reliable, customised solutions are what you can expect when Drytech becomes your thermal processing partner!
