Dryer systems play a very significant role in most process industries. There are different composers of dryers based on its nature of drying and the item being utilized for drying. Some dryers use direct contact and some involve indirect contact for drying. But most widely used dryers are associated with a conveyor system which utilizes the transportation of materials along with smooth drying. Implementing a proper design of dryer along with a conveyor is very much essential and eliminates or reduces the non-uniformity in the drying of materials to improve the system efficiency. Some dryers work on electricity and some on solar systems. In this paper, we have prepared a literature review of the proposal and performance of various dryer and conveyor systems. Application of thermography for dryer systems will help in predicting the nonlinear nature exhibited in the dryer system thereby enhancing the protection and proper control for even drying of materials.
