When drying combustible product with heated air there is a threat of fire. With certain products that are flammable and have a high amount of fines, the fines material can be ignited as it passes through the burner. In a direct fire situation, the first source of fire comes from moving combustible product through the burner. The flame can ignite the product sending sparks into the drying chamber. These sparks may ignite product that is being dried or product that has not been cleaned out of the air plenum. Product left in the air plenum becomes very dry and can easily ignite.
