  • Method for reducing moisture content
    Patent number: 6471898
    Abstract: A system and a method for reducing the level of moisture of fluent materials or wet solid materials, characterized in that the material to be treated is provided in a particle form and then exposed to a relatively high volumetric flow of gas treating medium which is drawn through the material so as to force the moisture in the center of each individual piece to migrate towards the periphery thereof where it can be easily evaporated. Air at ambient temperature may be used as gas treating medium so as to minimize the level of energy required to provide an efficient drying operation.
