The invention discloses a dryer for catalyst production. The dryer for catalyst production comprises a water outlet pipe and a drying chamber. An air pump is arranged inside a rack and installed on an air inlet pipe. One end of the air inlet pipe is installed on the outer side of the rack and communicates with the outside. The dryer for catalyst production is provided with the air pump, moisture of air is separated out according to the water separating phenomenon in the pressure increasing or decreasing process of air, and the drying effect is improved; a stirring chamber and a heater are arranged, and stirring and heating of a catalyst are achieved through cooperation of the stirring chamber and the heater; a heating lamp is arranged and used for further drying the catalyst; and the operations are controlled through a programmable logic controller (PLC), so that the dryer for catalyst production is convenient to use.
