Vulcan 8' x 50' rotary dryer. It was manufactured as a Sand Dryer, then the Vulcan factory in Moberly, Missouri converted it to HEMP drying. This unit has never been used. Never even left the Vulcan factory until the current owner bought it. It was originally bought by a company in Colorado to do hemp, but it never left Vulcan. The current owner bought it with the same thought, but the hemp craze died.
It is big, the 50' long drum alone weighs 55,000#. The plant is 480 volt, 3phz. The burner is natural gas or LP and includes an LP gas vaporizer. It is currently set up and the potential buyer can see it run.
