Continuous disc dryer

Two dryers in parallel

Indirect dryer

PRODUCT : DRYER Principle of operation of the horizontal dryer

The dryer is a continuous disc dehydration equipment by indirect contact between the material to be dried the heat medium. The rotor consists of a stack of discs on a heated horizontal tube. The discs are heated by steam or thermal fluid injected into the rotor axis and distributed across the disks. The combined action of disc, arms-scrapers and stirring paddles ensures an excellent heat transfer and a slow progression of the product to be dried. The excellent yield of the dryer helps control energy consumption.

Characteristics of horizontal disc dryer

Stainless steel construction for all parts in contact with the product, Shaft ends in forged steel; Low rotating speed at 10 revolutions per minute; Pressure in the rotor: 6 to 8 bar; Heat transfer surface: 60 to 460 m; Steam consumption: 1.3 to 1.4 kg steam / kg water evaporated; Easy access for maintenance.

Advantages of horizontal dryer

Efficiency

High evaporation rate Intense contact between discs and products to be dried Large heating surface in a low volume

Security

Indirect system: no contact between the heating media and the product to be dried Low level of O2 Temperature control, CO and O2 Inert gas injection

Flexibility

The final product may have the desired structure: pellets, powder ... Use as a pre-dryer or dryer: from 50 to 95% DM

Economic

Treatment of vapors associated minimum Automated installation: minimum staff Very low maintenance costs
