Pulp drying
Pulp drying for product stability and resource efficiency
Pulp drying is an important step in the recovery of beet pulp, a valuable by-product of the sugar process. Reducing the water content of the pressed pulp helps to achieve better storage stability, simplifies transportation and handling – and produces marketable feed. Efficient drying is crucial to maximise the value of the by-product while minimising energy input.
Drying using the fluidised-bed steam dryer from BMA
The fluidised-bed steam dryer from BMA (WVT) is designed for the efficient drying of beet pulp under controlled process conditions. The use of steam as the heating medium, combined with the generation of a fluidised bed ensures uniform heat transfer and constant moisture removal. This process principle supports a stable drying performance, high energy efficiency and consistent product quality.
A major step in by-product recovery
Effective pulp drying ensures that the product meets all requirements for storage, transportation and use as feed. With reliable process control and efficient energy use, drying technology from BMA contributes to the cost-efficient and sustainable use of sugar beet.
