The Sibus Rapid Air Swept (RAS) Dryer will reduce the moisture content of gypsum slurries, wet gypsum or wet board in one rapid single pass, thus both maximising in throughput and minimising on landfill waste.

This range of innovative and patented dryers are capable of drying these materials into dry, free-flowing gypsum in less than one minute to extremely low moisture levels.

The RAS Dryers do not incorporate trays, spray nozzles or rotating drums.

It uses a unique co-flow design with the hot air introduced along with the in-flow of wet material.

The wet material can either be fed in via a pump or screw feeder and is subject to immense mixing action, promoting immediate flash drying.

The result is dry, relatively cool, free flowing, very dry gypsum.

The innovative range of RAS Drying Systems has a small footprint, with low installation costs.

They can accommodate a range of fuels; also reclaimed dry factory heat can be used.

The dryer design offers easy access to all operating parts and are available in mild steel or stainless steel with anti-abrasion liners.

Sibus have a complete RAS Drying System within their Penrith Test Plant which is available for client trials.

Sibus also have an equipment solution for companies who simply want to separate and reclaim gypsum from wallboard - The Sibus Power Separator.

Also available in the Test Facility, the Power Separator will quickly and efficiently separate fist size pieces of wallboard into clean gypsum, reclaiming it quite separately from the paper.

This equipment offers a low cost, low energy, and highly efficient solution for gypsum recovery.
