Prices for Different Types of Dryers
We offer a variety of dryers, including drum dryers, mesh belt dryers. These are suitable for different production scenarios. Due to variations in configuration, their price ranges vary significantly. We can provide tailored solutions and quotes based on your drying requirements.

Drum dryer machine price
This rotary drum dryer costs between $15,000 and over $110,000. This large-scale industrial dryer features a double- or triple-layer drum design. The drums are equipped with helically arranged baffles. When connected to a hot air furnace, it achieves rapid and uniform drying.
The dryer can be heated by a biomass burner. Consequently, it is widely used for drying various types of biomass materials. Examples include wood pellet production line and biomass pellet plants. It can dry materials with various moisture contents down to 15–18%to facilitate pelletization.

Mesh belt dryer price
This mesh belt dryer is priced between $5,000 and over $50,000. It features a chamber design with multiple layers of continuous PET woven mesh belts inside. The material to be dried is evenly distributed across the belts, and a hot air circulation system ensures uniform drying as the belts move.
This drying method uses steam, which is gentler on the material. Consequently, it is ideal for drying animal feed, aquaculture feed and vegetables and fruits. It can reduce the moisture content of feed to 2–10%, ensuring that the nutritional value and texture of the dried material are preserved.

What factors influence a dryer price?
There are many factors that influence the price of a dryer. First is the type of raw material. For biomass materials that require pelletization, we recommend using a drum dryer, which has a lower initial investment cost. For drying feed and food products, we suggest choosing a gentler belt dryer. Its initial investment cost is higher, suitable for fragile and soft materials.
Other factors include production capacity configuration, automation levels, and heat source selection. Regarding heat sources, drum dryers can generally utilize a custom-built hot air furnace paired with a biomass burner to reduce costs. Belt dryers use steam for drying and can be heated by either electricity or biomass.
+
Why is there such a significant price difference between drum dryers and belt dryers?
This is primarily due to differences in structural configuration. Drum dryers have a relatively simple structure. By using a drum and material-pushing plates to rotate the material, they can effectively dry biomass powder. They are low-cost, high-return production equipment.
Belt dryers are specifically designed for drying feed and food products. They employ a gentler drying method, with the material spread evenly on a mesh belt and dried through hot air circulation. Consequently, their structural design is more complex, making them suitable for drying high-value-added materials.

How can you get an accurate quote for a dryer?
This primarily depends on several factors. You will need to specify the type of raw material, its moisture content, and your target production capacity. This information will help us determine the preliminary equipment model. Additionally, providing details about your heat source will allow us to determine the configuration of auxiliary equipment. This information will help us provide a more accurate quote.
