wood chip dryer for sale: Working Principle
RICHI wood chip dryer manufacturers adopts the principle of hot air drying. Through the continuously rotating cylinder, the material is continuously lifted and rolled in the high-temperature airflow, and is fully exposed to the hot air, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid evaporation of moisture.
The material enters the cylinder from the feed end, and moves slowly to the discharge end under the action of gravity with the help of the slightly inclined angle of the cylinder. There is a lifting plate inside the cylinder to continuously lift and throw the material, so that it is evenly heated to achieve the purpose of efficient drying.
Hot air can enter from the front or back end according to demand, and the drying accuracy can be controlled through a multi-point temperature control system.
The composition and structure of wood chip dryer for sale
In order to ensure the drying efficiency and long-term stability of operation, the RICHI wood chip dryer manufacturers have been scientifically optimized in structural design. The equipment consists of multiple key systems, and each part cooperates closely to ensure that the material completes the drying process quickly, evenly and safely under high temperature environment. The following is a detailed description of the main components:
Drum body
- This is the core structure of the wood chip dryer for sale. It is welded from high-strength heat-resistant steel plates and has good sealing and corrosion resistance.
- The drum is arranged slightly tilted, and the material rotates in the drum while slowly moving forward to ensure a continuous and stable drying process.
Hot air furnace system
- The heat source system is an important power source for the drying process. The fuel type can be selected according to the energy situation of the user’s location, including wood chips, biomass pellets, natural gas, coal, diesel and other methods, which is flexible and practical.
Lifting device
- In order to allow the wood chips to fully contact with the hot air in the drum, multiple sets of lifting plates are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the drum.
- These lifting plates will continuously lift and throw the materials to form a “material curtain”, thereby greatly increasing the heating area, improving the heat exchange efficiency, and making the drying more thorough and faster.
Feeding and discharging device
- The feeding and discharging ends are fully sealed, which can not only prevent heat loss, but also effectively prevent dust leakage, and improve the overall energy saving and environmental protection performance of the equipment.
Transmission system
- The rotation of the drum is completed by a drive system consisting of a motor, a reducer and a roller support. After multiple optimization designs, the system has the characteristics of stable speed, low energy consumption, and low noise.
Dust removal system
- In order to meet the environmental protection standards of different regions and factories, RICHI can configure cyclone dust collectors or bag dust removal systems for customers to effectively collect dust generated during the drying process, protect the on-site environment, and improve the environmental protection level of the factory.
Intelligent control system
- The whole set of equipment supports automatic operation and is equipped with advanced temperature control instruments and PLC control systems, which can freely set parameters such as temperature, operating time, and speed.
