INNOVATIVE TURBO DRYER!

Trailer3.jpg

We offer for use a new generation of industrial high-speed universal dryers AIRSTREAM !

Designed for high-temperature high-speed drying of firewood in packages, on pallets and in stands. It can also be used (in a separate version) for drying sawn timber, for the production of freeze-dried products, drying fruits and vegetables, etc.

Innovative high-speed wood drying technology

Initially, two drying blocks (36 tons each) are loaded with packs of raw firewood, 26 packs each.
The technological process of drying firewood is carried out by a carousel method with a displacement of the supply of the coolant to one of the drying blocks.  When the temperature in the drying unit reaches more than 100 ° C, moisture boils and active vaporization occurs in the wood. The temperature in the first drying block rises to + 120 ... + 130 ° C, after which the side ventilation valve opens and the forced steam discharge fan is turned on.
The high-temperature air-steam agent is forcibly fed into the second drying unit, which is currently a waste steam recovery unit. Due to the active (5000 m3 / h) discharge of the spent high-temperature steam into the second drying unit, it is preheated to a temperature close to + 100C. 
The technology of drying firewood by the carousel method has a higher efficiency in contrast to the "standard" technologies of passive steam discharge into the atmosphere. By the time the wood has been dried in the first drying block (2-3 days, depending on the percentage of moisture and wood species), the second drying block will be completely warmed up and dried up to 50%, and it will take no more than a day to dry it.

Temperature distribution

The whole process is repeated in a cycle. Only now the first drying unit is a utilizer of the waste high-temperature steam from the second drying unit.

The heat carrier for high-temperature drying of firewood is diathermic oil supplied to an aluminum heat exchanger with an operating temperature of + 200 ... + 250 ° C from a thermal oil boiler house.

The redistribution of the coolant supply between the drying blocks is carried out automatically by switching the ball valves with electric drives. Switching is possible in manual mode.

 

This technology makes it possible to effectively use one thermal oil boiler for the simultaneous operation of two drying units with a total load of raw firewood equal to 72 tons.
