A Filter Dryer is usually dimensioned against the expected solid volume, also referred to as cake volume.

The maximum cake volume is determined by the agitator stroke (i.e. raised to its maximum height), in order to smooth the top surface of the cake.

The profile of the agitator blades is angled, thus they provide different functions depending on the direction of rotation.

One direction will provide a smoothing effect, whilst the other provides ploughing/gentle mixing.
