Airflow drying line
- The corn flake airflow dryer has a fast drying speed: it uses high-speed hot air flow to suspend the corn flakes in the airflow, so that the material is fully in contact with the hot air, which greatly increases the heat and mass transfer area, accelerates the evaporation rate of water, and can complete the drying process in a short time.
- Good drying uniformity: The airflow is evenly distributed in the corn flake airflow dryer. The corn flakes are in a dispersed state in the airflow and are evenly exposed to heat and airflow, which can effectively avoid local overheating or uneven drying and ensure the consistency of product quality.
- High thermal efficiency: The hot air is in direct contact with the material, the heat is transferred quickly, and the corn flake airflow dryer has good sealing performance, which reduces heat loss, improves thermal efficiency, and reduces energy consumption and drying costs.
- Small footprint: The structure is relatively compact, the equipment is small, and it usually adopts a vertical design. Under the same production capacity, compared with other types of dryers, the corn flake airflow dryer occupies a smaller area and can effectively save production space.
- The corn flake airflow dryer has strong adaptability: it can adapt to the drying of corn flakes with different humidity, particle size and output requirements by adjusting the airflow speed, temperature and structural parameters of the dryer, and has a wide adaptability to materials.
- The corn flake airflow dryer is clean and environmentally friendly: during the drying process, the material is in a closed airflow system, which reduces the flying of dust and causes less pollution to the environment. It is also convenient for collecting and cleaning the dried material, which meets environmental protection requirements.
How it works
The corn flake airflow dryer uses high-speed hot air flow to suspend the corn flakes in the airflow. The hot air fully contacts the corn flakes to transfer heat and mass, so that the moisture in the corn flakes evaporates quickly, thereby achieving drying.
Corn flake airflow dryer structure
It is usually composed of air heater, fan, drying tube, cyclone separator, bag dust collector, etc. The air heater is used to heat the air, the fan provides power to make the hot air flow, the drying tube is the place where the corn flakes exchange heat with the hot air, and the cyclone separator and bag dust collector are used to collect the dried corn flakes and separate the dust in the tail gas.
Corn flake airflow dryer technical parameters
- Drying capacity: Depending on the model and configuration, it can dry corn flakes ranging from several hundred kilograms to several tons per hour.
- Drying temperature: Generally between 80-200℃, which can be adjusted according to the characteristics of corn flakes and drying requirements.
- Air flow velocity: Usually around 10-30m/s to ensure that the corn flakes can be fully suspended and dried in the air flow.
- Thermal efficiency: The thermal efficiency is relatively high, generally around 60%-80%.
