OEM manufacturer of custom machinery developed an indirect hot oil system to dryout farming byproducts such as liquid waste, sludge, or animal feed to eliminate both odor and moisture from the material and become a sustainable resource such as fertilizer. The manufacturer was using inefficient band heaters through the application’s 24” x 30’ processing barrel so the customer desired a more efficient method - Chromalox provided its new hot oil heat transfer system. This system enabled the customer to route the oil along a predesigned flow path along the barrel; thereby, increasing the heat transfer effectiveness. The process heats oil from 59° F to 235° F in less than an hour effectively reducing lead time and heat flux and providing a significant ROI of the equipment.
