BKG® Pellet Dryers
BKG® pellet dryers are suitable for various materials and throughput capacities. Reach your desired moisture levels easily and give your pellets an excellent finish for trouble-free further processing.
Overview
The high quality of a pellet produced on a BKG® pelletizing system results from all the components working together seamlessly. The BKG® pellet dryers are responsible for giving the pellets an excellent finish. They ensure the exact right amount of residual moisture and can process up to 25,000 kg/h (55,000 lb/hr).
One Concept - Different Options
We offer pellet dryers in many sizes and design options to fit your process. Whether you need a simple model for low throughputs, advanced wear protection, or elaborated designs with pre-dewatering, self-cleaning function, and noise reduction - we have the right fit for you.
BKG® pellets dryers are suitable for various applications and an excellent fit for any pelletizing line.

How It Works
General working principle of a BKG® pellet dryer
Benefitting Your Process
Increase Profitability
- Increase your extruder uptime by achieving process continuity
- Save operating costs through simple handling and easy maintenance
Increase Quality
- Produce precisely the pellet you want by combining it with different pelletizers, die plates, and cutter hubs
- Produce pellets with excellent bulk characteristics for trouble-free further processing
- Achieve your desired residual moisture level
- Remove bulked pellets from the process with agglomerate catchers
- Control your pellet quality with a pellet diverter valve for in-process testing
Increase Convenience
- Reduce maintenance efforts due to wear-protected design
- Increase operator safety and comfort with noise-reduced design
- Easy cleaning and maintenance through dual door access and simple bearing design
Agglomerate Catcher
Pellet Diverter Valve
The BKG® pellet diverter valve is a pneumatically operated valve mounted at the dryer outlet. It allows for the switching between two pellet discharge chutes for a.) gaylord changeover, b.) elimination of low-quality pellets during start-up, or c.) sampling of pellets during production.
Benefits
- Great for quick changeovers - containers of materials
- Separate the low quality pellets during start-up
- Sampling of pellets during production
- Simple operation
