1. What are the operating costs of the dryer?

Operating costs of the dryer depend on the material, the tonnage, and also the input and target moisture content. Typically 50 tonnes per hour, drying sand from 10% down to 0.5% would cost £0.66 per tonne.

3. Can our products be tested by the LamiFlo^TM System?

There is a test facility set up, which can test your products.  The cost of the test depends on the material, but is generally £4,000 per test, backed with a full report, giving moisture contents, video footage, and a range samples returned to yourselves.

Following the receipt of any order this payment will be credited to your account as an offset against the total payable.

5. Does the drying process generate fugitive dust emissions?

There is no fugitive dust emissions from the drying process, as the system is totally sealed.

6. Does the dryer need heat to dry materials such as sands, china clay, lime or chalks?

The drying process does not rely on heat to remove the moisture from the materials, hence negating the requirement for gas, gasoil, diesel or LPG.

7. Does the dried material require cooling?

The material leaves the dryer at an ambient temperature.

8. What is the size of the dyer?

The dryer can be designed to suit almost any space. The LamiFlo^TM System is a fraction of the footprint of any fluidised bed, or rotary drum dryer.

10. How often does the LamiFloTM System need maintaining?

Maintenance of the system is carried out by L F Pumping (Europe) Ltd, as part of our agreement with you, the client, included in our original price. There are no cracking of welds, popping of bolts and rivets like vibratory dryers or intense heat source like fluid bed dryers, so the LamiFlo^TM System is the ultimate low maintenance drying system, with only 2 moving parts.
