One of many processes that are used in industrial drying. The belt Drier machine is specially designed for drying almost any non-flowing product or more granular products that generally require a shorter throughput capacity. The various applications of this industrial drying process is woodchip, sawdust, shavings, anaerobic digestate, grass/Lucerne/hemp, SRF, RDF, seeds and many others.
The Working Process
Air is generally directed down through the product bed which keeps the products tightly fixed to the conveyer belt thereby improving drying efficiency & reducing product loss.
It is available in widths of 1.5m, 2.2m & 3.0m and has lengths of up to 75m whichever one is suited for you.
Its modular design allows the driers to be broadened easily which allows the owner to increase production according to business.
It has automatic tracking as standard to ensure that the belt stays in a path without any help of manual input.
It is very tightly woven and has an anti-static polymer belt that can resist allows very few lines to slip through the belt, meaning less product loss and a very little cleaning up required.
It has automatic control as standard can speed up and slow down the belt to help you to ensure even product drying.
There are no chains, slats, or louvers for the product to get caught in and get stuck to it. This helps the drier to be very clean and reduces damage to the material which is being dried.
The machine generally has a designed and programmed PLC panel that is easy to use and provides data at the touch of a button.
Internet connection with this industrial drying allows remote access and control of the drier from any smartphone or desktop PC.
Internet connectivity allows the engineers to remotely diagnose any issues regarding this machine.
Product's that can be used in an industrial belt drier machine are:
Plant products such as grass, straw, lucerne, seaweed, cannabis, leaves & corn fibre
SRF, RDF, MSW & other waste products
Paper pulp & paper mulch
Woodchip, wood shavings, sawdust & other biomass products
Digestate
Grains which includes wheat, barley, maize, and many others
Different types of Seeds
Manures & fertilizers
Pet food
Vegetables including shredded & pulled form. Stainless steel drier machines are also available.
Brewers grains
Heat sources required for the functioning
Belt drier machines can use LPG or natural gas in direct or indirect form, Kerosene, diesel, water, or steam as a heat source as a basic need. Other existing heat sources, such as flares, can be used with some modifications that will be made on the belt drier.
Feeding and discharge of products
This industrial drier generally offers a full range of handling equipment to accompany belt drivers which include augers/screw conveyors, chain & flight conveyors, belt & bucket elevators, twin trace conveyors, belt conveyors & many more.
Belt drivers nowadays have a wide range of optional extras available to help the user to ensure the smooth running of the machine with minimal maintenance. This industrial drier range of applications. The optional extras include:
Hot air recirculation in the machine to help reduce the amount of energy required to heat the drier.
Inverter-controlled fans are there to help reduce the amount of energy the driers consume. This also ensures complete control of air speeds running through your product.
Rotating agitators so as ensure the product dries evenly.
Belt cleaning system includes an air knife & a water jet system to keep the belt from becoming breached.
Silencers, help the machine reduce the noise emitted by the fans.
You can find major companies providing various methods of drying. It is easy to hire someone to help you dry out the bulk material. This saves you from the hassle of doing it yourself. The efficacy of their work will be guaranteed and you will notice large quantity of materials left for drying at best conditions.
