Engineered for Efficiency, Designed for Real-World Operation
Korrell Industries provides complete turnkey biomass drying systems designed to reduce moisture content efficiently and reliably for downstream processing and energy applications.
Our systems are engineered based on actual feedstock conditions and operational requirements, ensuring stable performance, energy efficiency, and consistent output quality in real industrial environments.
System Overview
Biomass drying is a critical process in ensuring fuel quality, process efficiency, and downstream performance.
Our drying systems are designed to handle high-moisture biomass such as Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), wood chips, and other organic materials, reducing moisture content to levels suitable for briquetting, pelletizing, or direct combustion.
Each system is fully integrated, covering material handling, heat generation, drying, and discharge — delivered as a complete and optimized solution.

Proprietary Drying Technology
Screw Propeller Dryer (Patented System)
Korrell Industries has developed a patented Screw Propeller Dryer, engineered specifically to address the challenges of drying high-moisture biomass such as Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB).
This proprietary system is designed to provide controlled, efficient, and safer drying compared to conventional direct-fired systems.
Key Features
Controlled Heat Transfer (Indirect Drying)
- Minimizes direct flame contact, reducing fire risk and improving process stability
Optimized Material Movement
- Screw propeller design ensures consistent material flow and uniform drying
Compact & Integrated Design
- Suitable for integration into space-constrained plant layouts
Reduced Dust Emission
- Enclosed system minimizes airborne particles during operation
Enhanced Operational Control
- Allows better control over residence time and drying conditions
Application Advantage
The Screw Propeller Dryer is particularly suitable for applications requiring controlled drying conditions, improved safety, and integration with downstream biomass processing systems such as briquetting and pelletizing.
Design Basis
Each drying system is engineered based on key parameters to ensure optimal performance:
- Feedstock type (EFB, wood chips, biomass waste)
- Incoming moisture content (typically 40–60%)
- Target moisture content (typically 10–15%)
- Required throughput (TPH basis)
- Heat source availability (biomass / natural gas)
- Site layout and environmental considerations
System Integration (Turnkey Scope)
As a turnkey provider, Korrell Industries delivers complete system integration, including:
- Material handling systems (conveyors, feeders)
- Heat generation system (burner and hot air system)
- Drying equipment and structure
- Air handling and ducting system
