Drum Dryer in Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh produces more wet bulk material than almost any other state. Grain based distilleries across the state turn out wet distillers grain every hour. Sugar mills in Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Meerut and Lakhimpur Kheri leave behind press mud and bagasse. Cattle and poultry feed mills, herbal and ayurvedic units, spice and food processors, and the silica sand and mineral processors around Prayagraj all need the same thing before they can store, grind, pack or sell: moisture taken out evenly, at a rate that keeps up with the plant.
A drum dryer does that job continuously. Wet material enters one end of a slowly rotating, slightly inclined drum, internal flights lift and shower it through a stream of hot air, and dry material leaves the other end at the target moisture. Mecha Engineering is a drum dryer manufacturer in Uttar Pradesh, not a trader. Each dryer is designed, fabricated and assembled at our Saharanpur works, sized to your feed rate, inlet moisture, target moisture and heat source, and backed by selection support, capacity planning and installation guidance.
- Trial before you commit. Send a sample of your wet material and we check its drying behaviour, so the drum length, diameter and air volume are based on your product, not a rule of thumb.
- One manufacturer, one scope. Drum, hot air generator, feeder, cyclone, bag filter, ducting and panel come from one works, so there is no gap between the parts.
- Heat source to suit your fuel. Biomass or husk fired hot air generator, diesel or gas burner, steam or thermic fluid heater, chosen by what is cheapest and available at your site.
- Spares held in Saharanpur. Trunnion rollers, riding ring parts, drive chains, bearings, seals and filter bags are kept in stock for dryers already running in UP.
What you get with every dryer
Four Commitments Behind Each Installation
These are the points a plant head in Uttar Pradesh checks before releasing a dryer order, so we put them in writing.
Sized on Your Material
Drum size, rotation speed, slope and air volume are worked out from your feed rate and moisture figures, and from a sample trial where the material is new to us.
Installation Guidance on Site
Our team travels from Saharanpur for foundation checks, drum alignment on the trunnions, ducting, first run and performance tuning at your plant.
Direct Manufacturer Pricing
You buy from the fabricator, not a trading house. No dealer margin, and any change to drum size, heat source or dust collection is quoted against actual cost.
Build features
Features of Mecha Engineering Drum Dryers
Every feature below protects one of three things: the moisture figure on your finished product, your fuel bill, or the hours your dryer stays online.
01
Heavy Duty Drum Construction
A thick walled cylindrical drum on riding rings and trunnion rollers, built for long running cycles and for abrasive or dense materials such as sand, minerals and fertiliser.
02
Uniform Heat Transfer
Internal flights lift the material and shower it through the hot air stream along the full drum length, so every particle sees the same heat and leaves at an even moisture.
03
Lower Energy Use
The airflow is sized to the evaporation load, the drum and hot ducts are insulated, and heat loss at the ends is kept low, so less fuel goes into each tonne of dry product.
04
Smooth Material Handling
Flight pattern, drum slope and rotation speed are set together, so material moves evenly from inlet to outlet with a controlled residence time and no build up inside the drum.
05
Clean Air at the Stack
Cyclone separators recover product from the exhaust, and a bag filter or wet scrubber cleans the air further, so fines are not lost and the stack meets pollution board norms.
06
Maintenance Friendly Design
Easy access points, inspection doors and simple cleaning features help operators keep downtime short and hold the dryer at steady output from one season to the next.
Dryers we supply
Types of Drum Dryers We Supply in Uttar Pradesh
Six builds cover almost every drying duty we see in UP plants. Tell us the material and we will point you to the right one.
Direct Fired Rotary Dryer
Hot gas from the burner or furnace passes straight through the drum and touches the material. The highest thermal efficiency, for sand, minerals, fertiliser and other materials that tolerate flue gas.
Indirect Heated Rotary Dryer
Clean hot air from a heat exchanger or steam heater does the drying, so combustion gas never reaches the product. The right choice for food, feed, herbal and pharma materials.
Co-Current Drum Dryer
Hot air and wet material enter at the same end, so the hottest air meets the wettest material. Suits heat sensitive products that must leave the drum cool.
Counter-Current Drum Dryer
Hot air enters at the product outlet end and moves against the material. Gives the lowest final moisture and the best fuel economy for materials that tolerate heat.
Rotary Dryer with Cooler
A second rotating drum cools the product with ambient air before bagging, for fertiliser, feed and granules that would cake or sweat if packed hot.
SS Drum Dryer for Food and Herbal
SS 304 drum, flights and product contact parts with indirect heating, for spices, herbs, food ingredients and ayurvedic raw material that must stay free of rust and flue gas.

Questions we are asked
Drum Dryer in Uttar Pradesh: FAQs
Straight answers to what UP buyers ask before placing a dryer order.
What is a drum dryer?
A drum dryer, also called a rotary drum dryer, is a slowly rotating, slightly inclined cylinder that dries bulk material continuously. Wet material enters at one end, internal flights lift and shower it through a stream of hot air or gas, and dry material leaves at the other end at the target moisture.
Who is a drum dryer manufacturer in Uttar Pradesh?
Mecha Engineering Pvt. Ltd. manufactures rotary drum dryers at its own works in Village Meharbani, Behat, Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Each dryer is designed, fabricated and assembled in the same factory and supplied to distilleries, sugar mills, feed mills, herbal units, food processors, fertiliser plants and mineral processors across the state.
Which materials can a drum dryer handle?
Free flowing and granular bulk materials such as wet distillers grain, press mud, bagasse, cattle and poultry feed, herbs and spices, grains, fertiliser granules, silica sand, minerals and many chemical powders. Very sticky pastes may need a lump breaker or back mixing at the feed, and thin liquids suit a spray dryer rather than a drum dryer.
What is the difference between direct and indirect heating?
In a direct fired dryer the hot gas from the burner or furnace passes through the drum and touches the material, which gives the highest efficiency and suits sand, minerals and fertiliser. In an indirect heated dryer, clean hot air from a heat exchanger or steam heater does the drying, so combustion gas never reaches the product, which is needed for food, feed and herbal materials.
What capacities do you manufacture?
Standard dryers handle from about 100 kg per hour to 5 tonnes per hour of wet feed in a single drum, with drum diameters of 0.6 to 2.5 metres and lengths of 4 to 20 metres. The real sizing figure is the water to be evaporated per hour, so we work from your feed rate, inlet moisture and target moisture rather than a model number.
Which fuel can I use to heat the dryer?
Biomass or rice husk fired hot air generators are the most common choice in Uttar Pradesh because the fuel is cheap and locally available. Diesel, LPG and gas burners, and steam or thermic fluid heaters where the plant already has a boiler, are all options. We choose the heat source by your fuel cost and availability at site.
How do you control dust from the dryer exhaust?
Every dryer comes with a cyclone separator to recover product from the exhaust air. A pulse jet bag filter or wet scrubber is added after the cyclone where the material is fine or the pollution board sets a tighter emission limit, which also recovers more saleable product.
Can the drum dryer be built in stainless steel?
Yes. For food, feed, herbal and chemical materials we build the drum and flights in SS 304, or use SS 304 for all product contact parts with an MS outer structure to control cost. Mild steel with wear liners remains the better choice for abrasive sand and mineral duty.
What does a drum dryer cost in Uttar Pradesh?
Price depends on the evaporation load, drum size, MS or SS construction, heat source, dust collection and level of automation. Because these change the figure widely, we do not publish a single price. Send your material, feed rate, inlet moisture and target moisture and a specification sheet with price comes back within one working day.
Do you provide installation and service for drum dryers in Uttar Pradesh?
Yes. Our team travels from Saharanpur for foundation checks, drum alignment, ducting, first run and performance tuning at your site. Trunnion rollers, bearings, chains, seals and filter bags are held in stock for dryers already running in the state.
