A common practice in rotary dryer design is to oversize the drum diameter to accommodate a more aggressive air volume. While this approach isn’t necessarily wrong, it is not as efficient. The larger diameter drum helps to combat the potential for material to become entrained in the air flow and carried out through the exhaust gas system
