General operation of the Dryer
A cyclone unit is mounted on top of the Spreader Conveyor with a Rotary Valve which controls the flow of the feed moving into the dryer. A 1.2m Stainless Steel Rotary Valve on top of the Dryer ensures an even flow of pellets across the perforated steel slats that are driven by Hollow-Point Chain which is VSD controlled. The Dryer is a 4-Pass system running with two 10-core Heat Exchangers and driven by steam.
Two high velocity aluminium fans are concealed in canopies within the unit. Galvanised ducting ensures clean air flow is always available to the heat exchangers. A Cleaner Auger under the Dryer Compartment removes all the fines. Finally a Rotary Valve will move the dried feed via a Blower to 5.5kW Cooling and Bag-off Bins.
Cooling Intergration
Cooling units manufactured to the same quality standards as the Dryer are available to be mounted in-line with the dryer.
