Introduction of sawdust rotary dryer (wood chips dryer)

Sawdust rotary dryer or wood chips dryer is widely used to dry humidity granularity materials in the biomass industries.  It is an important part of the pellet plant, and the quality of the material has an impact on pelletizing with pellet mill. Sawdust and wood chips should be dried to5-10% water content to meet the demands for pelletizer. It is different from the sawdust flash dryer.

The Principle of sawdust dryer :

The appearance of the drum is the same as that of the general roraty drum dryer, but the interior is made of three straight cylinder sets with different diameters, forming a three-ring roller, all surfaces in contact with the material are equipped with a copy plate. The three-layer rollers are fixed to each other in the radial direction to rotate at the same number of revolutions.

The direction of the material is: wet material from the inner tube into, from the end of the re-entry into the middle tube, after the middle tube into the outer tube, the end of the outer tube discharge.

Sawdust and wood chips drying process

Step 1: The wood chips or sawdust enters the belt conveyer through the feeding hopper, the equal thickness material flow enters the dryer feed port through the feeding shut-off fan.
Step 2: The high temperature hot flue gas from the hot blast furnace is in full contact with the dryer feeding mouth and enters the multi-ring roller dryer together, the wet sawdust or the wet wood chips is dried through the mass heat exchange of three strokes.

Step 3: The wood chips orsawdust after drying enters the multi-group cyclone separator, the dry material is discharged through the discharge shut-off fan, the part enters the blocking system to squeeze into the blocking block, the finished product.

Step 4: The other part of the material enters the anti-fuel plugging feeding device through the fuel feeding fan, and the function of the cyclone to strengthen the combustion fan to complete the combustion burning and form the high height warm flue gas, used as a heat source for the whole drying system. And the tail gas from the cyclone collector goes into the atmosphere.
