Tower dehydrator
a. What is a tower dryer? Tower dryer is a device that uses a hot air circulation system to quickly and evenly dry grains. It has the characteristics of high efficiency, energy saving and high degree of automation. b. Why do we need a tower dryer? Tower dryers improve drying efficiency, reduce mildew and loss during grain storage, ensure grain quality and safety, and meet the needs of large-scale production. c. What are the advantages of tower dryers? ① Fast drying speed and high efficiency; ② Uniform product particles and stable quality; ③ Simple operation and high degree of automation; ④ Suitable for drying heat-sensitive materials and can maintain the active ingredients of the product; ⑤ Low energy consumption and low operating costs. d. What are the industrial uses of tower dryers? Tower dryers are widely used in the drying of crops such as rice, corn, and wheat to improve storage quality, prevent mildew, and meet the needs of large-scale grain processing and storage companies. e. What is the working principle of a tower dryer? The working principle of a tower dryer is to disperse liquid or slurry materials into small droplets through a sprayer, contact them with hot air, and quickly evaporate the water in the droplets to form dry particles. The dried particles are discharged from the bottom of the drying tower by gravity or airflow, while the wet air is discharged through the exhaust system. f. What are the different components of a tower dryer? Feeding system (atomizer), drying tower, heating system (such as gas heater or steam heater), ventilation system, dehumidification system, collection system (cyclone separator or bag filter), control system and tower structure. g. How are tower dryers classified? ① According to the heating method, they are divided into electric heating, steam heating and gas heating; ② According to the spraying method, they are divided into pressure spraying, centrifugal spraying and air flow spraying; ③ According to the operation mode, they are divided into continuous and intermittent. h. What are the important factors affecting the drying time of the tower dryer? The initial moisture content of the material, the viscosity and fluidity of the material, the size of the spray droplets, the temperature and humidity in the drying tower, the air flow rate, the feed rate of the material, etc. i. What is the capacity of the tower dryer? The capacity of the tower dryer generally ranges from tens of kilograms to several tons depending on the model and specifications of the equipment. j. What is the drying time of a tower dryer? The drying time of a tower dryer generally ranges from a few seconds to tens of seconds, depending on the type of material, initial moisture content and operating parameters. k. Does a tower dryer require a large installation space? Generally speaking, a tower dryer requires a higher installation space because the drying tower is usually taller. L. How to clean and maintain a tower dryer? ① Regularly clean the sprayer, the inner wall of the drying tower and the collection system to prevent material residue and blockage; ② Regularly check the heating system and ventilation system to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
