Flights for Rotary Equipment

Flights, or lifters, are specially designed "fins" to assist in the movement of material as it travels through a rotary dryer.

Industrial Kiln & Dryer Group and our sister companies have provided thousands of flighting systems for all types of rotary drying and processing equipment.

We can fully replace, modify and/or strengthen your current flighting system no matter the type or brand / OEM of your unit.

What we need to know to quote design of new flights or installation of new flights:

Diameter of unit?
Length of unit?
How many flights?
Characteristics of the material:
- What is the material?
- Is the material sticky, granular, etc?

Helpful Tips:

For flights bolted in, inspect regularly to catch any loose or broken bolts.
For welded bolts, inspect regularly to ensure there are no broken welds.
For highly abrasive material, where you may be replacing broken bolts or re-welding often, consider an alternative method of fastening.
