Drying Gypsum. Drying is an essential in processing gypsum, whether mining or pelletizing. Gypsum dryers work as moisture control solutions. A rotary dryer is used to reduce the moisture content of the gypsum. Lifting flights inside the rotating drum shower the gypsum through a heated air stream, drying the material as it moves through the dryer

Once dry, it is recommended that the surface be primed with USG Durock™ Primer-Sealer prior to floor-covering application. If the surface is soft, chalky and/or a low-strength gypsum underlayment, then a liberal coating of USG Durock™ Fusion™ Primer to the entire gypsum surface – including any exposed plywood or OSB – is required
