Abstract
In a rotary apparatus and a process for the production of layered glass batch pellets there is provided a drying process and a dryer for final drying of the pellets prior to their being fed to a melting furnace. Relatively cool moist pellets are fed into a static bed-type dryer to form a uniformly distributed pellet bed while a heating and drying gas is directed into the dryer in such a manner that the gas flows countercurrent to the direction of travel of the pellets through the dryer to maintain a temperature differential between the gas and the surface of the solid pellets in the bed throughout the bed's entire height in the range of approximately 5.degree. F. to 120.degree. F. and, ideally, within approximately 50.degree. F.
