    Continuous Dryer: Cool and Dry!

    Uploaded by

    The continuous dryer operates by sucking hot air through one, two, or three product beds that can vary in depth. New product is continuously fed in while dried product is smoothly discharged. Dryer air is partially recirculated for maximum energy efficiency and only a limited volume of air is exhausted at high humidity. The discharge system is triggered by sensors and powered by a hydraulic cylinder and power pack to avoid bridging of the product bed.

    CONTINUOUS DRYER
    The Continuous Dryer operates by sucking hot air through one, two or three product beds which are each
    variable in depth. New product is continuously fed in through the inlet valve, while the Swivel Valve
    discharger ensures smooth discharging of dried product to the next drying deck or into the hopper. Bridging
    of the product bed is avoided by gently lifting the product bed before discharging.
    The discharge system is triggered by level- or temperature sensor and driven by hydraulic cylinder and
    power pack. Open and closed positions of the discharger can be adjusted either manually or remotely by
    controller or PLC.
    Dryer air is partially recirculated back into the heater for maximum energy efficiency and only a limited volume
    of air is exhausted, at a high relative humidity.

    Energy efficiency
    The dryer is the largest consumer of energy in most processes. Employing
    the latest counterflow technology to replace an existing horizontal dryer
    you can save up to 50% on energy costs. Compared to the best horizontal
    dryers with recirculation, Geelen dryers save 15-25% on energy costs. Low
    cost horizontal dryers without air recirculation, consume up to 100%
    more energy.
    Operators can check on-line the energy efficiency of the current drying
    profile.

    Moisture uniformity
    In order to get all product dried as close as possible to the acceptable
    maximum you need a dryer with a high moisture uniformity. Modern
    counterflow dryers can be configured for drying to a standard deviation
    of 0.25%.

    Moisture uniformity over time


    Even a dryer with perfect air flow design does not provide you with per-
    fect results, unless it is capable of reacting automatically to changes in
    circumstances, such as temperature and humidity of the air, product flow
    rate and moisture % of wet product. Using on-line microwave moisture
    sensors, we can make sure the target moisture % is automatically achieved,
    under all circumstances.

    Sanitation
    There is nothing like gravity to make sure a dryer or cooler can be
    designed as clean and simple as possible. No gearboxes, chains, conveyors,
    belts or ledges. Just the hydraulically driven drying decks which release all
    product to the next stage.
    All Geelen Counterflow dryers are built in double walled stainless steel,
    with fire resistant insulation material in between the inner and outer
    walls.

    Maintenance costs
    Maintenance costs for a Geelen Counterflow dryer are only a little higher
    than for a Geelen Counterflow cooler and significantly lower than for a
    horizontal dryer. 95% of all preventative maintenance can be done from
    the outside, minimising downtime.

    Safety
    25 years of research and development have cumulated in an extensive list
    of design optimisations and control system procedures aimed at mini-
    mising the risks of fire, explosions or other hazards for operators. A net-
    work of sensors and signals enables the PLC to trigger alarms if necessary,
    which eventually escalate to the shut down of burners/heaters, or the
    entire dryer.
