Introduction of Sand Rotary Dryer
Sand dryer, also known as the three layers of drum dryer, three return cylinder dryer, is designed and manufactured by our company on the basis of the single cylinder dryer by adopting the latest European energy-saving technology: mosaic structure.
Sand dryer is widely used for drying bulk and powder materials. It can dry river sand, silica sand, dry mortar, yellow sand, slag of cement plant, etc. It is widely used in building materials, chemical industry, foundry and other industries.
The heating source can be coal, oil and gas, etc.
Advantages of Sand Rotary Dryer
Long Service Life
Made of wear-resistant manganese plate, more wear-resistant than ordinary steel plate.
Good Output Effect
Reduces the initial moisture of about 15% to a final moisture below 0.5–1%.
Wide Application
The first choice for slag powder, GGBS and dry-mortar production lines in cement plants and other drying projects.
High Efficiency, Low Consumption
Thermal efficiency is over 40% higher than a single-pass dryer; coal consumption is one third and electricity is cut by 20%, with standard-coal consumption below 9 kg per ton.
Investment Cost Saving
Saves about 60% of floor area and about 60% of civil-construction investment, and is easier to install.
Low Investment & Fast ROI
Low equipment investment and operating cost with quick return on investment.
Working Principle of Sand Rotary Dryer
The raw material, sand, is conveyed to the inner cylinder by the feeder continuously and evenly , and is thrown and pushed forward by the spiral lifting board.
1. Raw Sand Feeding
Feeder continuously and evenly conveys sand into the inner drum
2. Inner drum: Lifting & Conveying
Spiral lifting boards throw and push material forward
3. Dispersing Curtain & Heat Contact
Intermediate dispersing device forms a material curtain for fuller heat contact
4.Triple-layer drum drying
Middle & Outer drum Drying
Semi-dry material enters the middle and outer drum for continued drying
5. Final Drying & Discharge
Material meeting the final drying requirement enters the discharge bin
