    Principle

    Wet materials are fed continuously to the top drying layer in the dryer. They will be turned and stirred continuously by harrows when the harrow’s arm rotates, the material flows through the surface of the drying plate along the exponential helical line. On the small drying plate the material will be moved to its exterior edge and drop down to the exterior edge of the large drying plate underneath, and will then be moved inward and drop down from its central hole to the small drying plate on the next layer. Both small and large drying plates are arranged alternately so as materials can go through the whole dryer continuously.

    The heating media, which could be saturated steam, hot water or thermal oil will be led into drying plates from one end to other end of the dryer. The dried product will drop from the last layer of the drying plate to the bottom layer of the body, and will be moved by harrows to the discharge outlet. The moisture exhausts from materials and will be removed from the moist discharge outlet on the top cover, or sucked out by the vacuum pump on the top cover for vacuum-type plate dryer. The dried product discharged from the bottom layer can be packed directly.

    The drying capability can be raised up if equipped with supplementary devices such as finned heater, condenser for solvent recovery, bag dust filter, return and mix mechanism for dried materials and suction fan etc. solvent in those paste state and heat sensitive materials can be easily recovered, and thermal decomposition and reaction can be also carried out.

    Applications

    Drying, heat decomposition, combustion, cooling, reaction, and sublimation.

    Organic chemicals
    Mineral chemicals
    Pharmaceutical and foodstuff
    Feed and fertilizer

    Features

    Easy control, wide application
    • Regulate thickness of materials, rotating speed of main shaft, number of rake arm, style and sizes of harrows achieve best drying process.
    • Each layer of drying plate can be fed with hot or cold media individually to heat or cold materials and make temperature control accurate and easy.
    • Stay time of materials can be accurately adjusted.
    • Single flowing direction of materials without return flowing and mixing, uniform drying and stable quality, no re-mixing is required.
    Easy and simple operation
    • Start and stop of dryer is quite simple.
    • After material feeding is stopped, they can be easily discharged out of the dryer by harrows.
    • Careful cleaning and observation can be carried inside the equipment through large-scale viewing window.
    Low energy consumption
    • Thin layer of materials, low speed of main shaft, small power and energy required for conveying system of materials.
    • Dry by conducting heat so it has high heating efficiency and low energy consumption.
    Good operation environment, solvent can be recovered and powder discharge meet the requirements of exhaust
    • Normal pressure type: as low speed of air flow inside the equipment and moisture being high in upper part and low in lower part, dust powder could not float to the equipment, so there is almost no dust powder in tail gas discharged from the moist discharge outlet on the top.
    • Closed type: equipped with solvent recovery device that can recover organic solvent easily from moist-carrier gas. The solvent recovery device has simple structure and high recovery rate, and nitrogen can be used as moist-carrier gas in closed circulation in order for safe operation. Especially suitable for drying of flammable, explosive and poisonous materials.
    • Vacuum type: if the plate dryer is operating under vacuum state, it is particularly suitable for drying heat sensitive materials.
    Easy installation and small occupying area
    • As the dryer is in a whole for delivery, it is quite easy to install and fix at site only by hoisting.
    • As drying plates being arranged by layers and installed vertically, it takes a small occupying area though drying area is large.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does the continuous plate dryer work?
    Wet materials are fed onto the top drying plate and continuously stirred by rotating harrows. The materials move along an exponential helical line across alternating small and large plates, dropping down layer by layer while heat media inside the plates dries them continuously.
    What are the primary applications of this plate dryer?
    It is widely used for drying, heat decomposition, combustion, cooling, reaction, and sublimation processes. It is suitable for organic chemicals, mineral chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, feed, and fertilizers.
    How is the drying temperature controlled?
    Each layer of the drying plate can be independently supplied with hot or cold media (such as saturated steam, hot water, or thermal oil). This allows for precise, localized, and easy temperature regulation across different drying stages.
    Can this dryer handle toxic, flammable, or explosive materials safely?
    Yes, the closed-type plate dryer can be equipped with a solvent recovery device and use nitrogen as a moist-carrier gas in a closed circulation. This setup ensures safe operations for flammable, explosive, and poisonous materials.
    Why is this plate dryer considered energy efficient?
    It dries materials by conducting heat directly, which ensures high thermal efficiency. Additionally, it uses a thin layer of materials and a low-speed main shaft, requiring very little power for the conveying system.
    What are the installation and space requirements?
    The dryer is delivered as a complete unit, making site installation simple via hoisting. Because the drying plates are arranged vertically in layers, the unit occupies a small footprint despite providing a large drying surface area.
