Efficient Drying for Perfect Pellets
BKG pellet dryer are designed to deliver high-performance drying for a wide range of materials and throughput capacities. Achieve your target moisture levels effortlessly and ensure your pellets have an excellent finish for smooth further processing.
Overview
The superior quality of pellets produced on a BKG pelletizing system comes from the seamless integration of all components. BKG pellet dryer play a crucial role in ensuring this quality, delivering the precise residual moisture level required for each application. With a capacity to process up to 25,000 kg/h (55,000 lb/hr), these dryers are equipped to meet the demands of high-throughput operations.
One Concept – Different Options
Our range of pellet dryers is available in various sizes and configurations to suit your specific needs. Whether you require a basic model for smaller throughputs, enhanced wear protection, or advanced features such as pre-dewatering, self-cleaning functions, and noise reduction, we have a solution tailored for you.
BKG pellet dryers are versatile, adaptable to numerous applications, and integrate seamlessly into any pelletizing line.

Agglomerate Catcher
The BKG agglomerate catcher prevents pellet clusters from reaching the dryer’s rotor area. Inclined metal bars capture the agglomerates, which are automatically detected by a photo-electric sensor. When an agglomerate is identified, the system opens the gate, ejecting oversized material before it enters the dryer.
Pellet Diverter Valve
The BKG pellet diverter valve, mounted at the dryer outlet, provides precise control over pellet discharge. It offers three key functionalities: switching between discharge chutes for container changeovers, diverting low-quality pellets during start-up, and sampling pellets during production.
Benefits
- Facilitates quick container changeovers
- Separates low-quality pellets during start-up
- Enables sampling of pellets during production
- Simple and efficient operation
