Read MoreIn modern industrial processing, the Tube Bundle Dryer stands as a cornerstone of high-capacity, indirect steam-heated drying technology. Operating on the principle of conduction heat transfer, these systems are engineered to process bulk solids, crystalline materials, and organic byproducts with exceptional thermal efficiency. The material to be dried is continuously agitated by a rotating bundle of steam-heated tubes, which transfers heat directly to the product while conveying it through the stationary housing.
Unlike direct-fired rotary dryers, tube bundle dryers prevent direct contact between the heating medium and the product. This design minimizes the risk of thermal degradation, dust explosions, and off-gas emissions, making it the preferred choice for processing starch, germ, gluten, corn steep liquor, and DDGS (Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles). Achieving compliance with European Union standards (CE Certification) ensures that these pressure vessels and mechanical assemblies meet the highest benchmarks for structural integrity, operational safety, and environmental protection.
Understanding the rigorous engineering standards required for European market entry and safe global operation.
Because the rotating tube bundle operates under high steam pressure (typically up to 0.6 - 1.0 MPa), it falls under the scope of the PED. Compliance requires rigorous finite element analysis (FEA), certified welding procedures (WPS), and non-destructive testing (NDT) such as radiographic and ultrasonic inspections of all pressure-retaining welds.
Organic dusts (e.g., starch, gluten) are highly explosive when suspended in air. CE-certified tube dryers must comply with ATEX regulations for Zone 20/21/22 environments. This includes explosion-proof motors, static grounding systems, spark-resistant materials, and integrated explosion venting or suppression systems to mitigate dust ignition risks.
Ensuring mechanical safety is paramount. The Machinery Directive dictates the implementation of robust safety guards, emergency stop circuits, interlocking access hatches, and structural stability. This guarantees that operators are protected from the high-torque rotational hazards of the internal tube bundle assembly.
Jiangsu Zongheng Concentrating and Drying Equipment Co., Ltd. capitalizes on the unparalleled industrial infrastructure of Yixing, Jiangsu Province—a global hub for light industry machinery and chemical equipment fabrication. This geographic advantage translates directly into tangible benefits for global procurement managers:
Jiangsu Zongheng Concentrating and Drying Equipment Co., Ltd (formerly Yixing Yangxi Light Industry Machinery Factory), founded in 1992, is located in Zhoutie Town, Yixing City, on the shores of the beautiful Taihu Lake. The company covers an area of over 54,000 square meters, with a production workshop area of over 22,000 square meters.
Jiangsu Zongheng is a modern high-tech enterprise specializing in the manufacturing of concentration, drying, starch industry, alcohol DDGS, and Category III medium & low-pressure vessel equipment. It is currently a member enterprise of the China Starch and Alcohol Association. Our products are widely used in industries such as food fermentation, alcohol, chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental protection, and petrochemical.
Addressing the complex technical demands of multinational corporations and heavy industrial plants.
Global buyers require strict adherence to material specifications. We offer tube bundles constructed from carbon steel for non-corrosive applications, SUS304/316L for food-grade products, and specialized duplex alloys (e.g., 2205) for high-chloride wastewater environments to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
To minimize operational expenditure, our tube bundle dryers can be integrated with waste heat recovery systems. By utilizing flash steam from condensate lines or preheating feed materials using evaporator exhaust vapors, we help plants achieve optimal thermal balance and reduce boiler steam consumption.
Heavy-duty continuous operation demands robust mechanical design. Our dryers feature heavy-wall seamless tubes, reinforced support rings, and high-performance spherical roller bearings. The drive system is engineered with a high service factor to handle high-torque startup conditions when the dryer is fully loaded.
Deploying heavy industrial machinery globally requires more than just shipping a container. Jiangsu Zongheng provides comprehensive localized support to ensure seamless integration and regulatory sign-off at your facility:
Over three decades of continuous growth, technological innovation, and global certification milestones.
Jiangsu Zongheng Concentrating and Drying Equipment Co., Ltd, formerly known as Yixing Yangxi Light Industrial Machinery Factory, was established. The company covered a total area of approximately 15 mu and had a total of 45 employees.
The company took the lead in obtaining ISO9001 international quality management system certification, establishing a structured framework for quality control across all manufacturing stages.

The industrial drying sector is undergoing a rapid transition driven by stringent carbon reduction targets and rising energy costs. Modern factories are moving away from fossil-fuel-fired drying systems toward electrified and highly integrated thermal schemes:
How our tube bundle dryers and evaporation systems perform in specific industrial settings.
In corn processing facilities, the tube bundle dryer is used to dry corn germ, fiber, and gluten. The low-oxygen operating environment prevents product scorching and maintains high nutritional value, while the robust mechanical design handles the sticky, high-moisture feed materials without clogging.
DDGS drying requires precise temperature control to preserve proteins and amino acids. Our tube bundle dryers operate efficiently in tandem with waste heat evaporators, utilizing concentrated corn steep liquor mixed with wet grains to produce high-quality animal feed with consistent moisture content.
For chemical sludge and industrial wastewater treatment, our dryers reduce the volume of hazardous waste. The closed-loop design allows for the safe containment and condensation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and corrosive vapors, protecting plant personnel and the environment.
Our commitment to quality is backed by international certifications and rigorous manufacturing standards.
