Drying
Minéraux Mart currently dries 12 000 tons a year of three different products; hematite, fluorspar and iron ore. These products are initially delivered with humidity levels varying between 2 and 6%. This causes flow obstruction problems in industrial processes. The drying action eliminating the water in the treated material is in fact a heating process performed by a rotary dryer using a direct flame. The water is vaporized and the material is left with a humidity level lower than 0.1%
