How to choose the right drying equipment

Each kind of drying device has its specific scope of application, and each kind of material can find a number of drying devices that can meet the basic requirements, but the most suitable can only be one. Improper selection, the user in addition to bear unnecessary one-time high procurement costs, but also in the whole period of use to pay such as low efficiency, high energy consumption, high operating costs, poor product quality, or even the device can not run normally and other heavy costs. Users in the selection of drying equipment for their products need to consider various conditions, in order to achieve the ideal drying effect and cost. The following are the general principles of dryer selection, the ideal selection must be focused on their own conditions, sometimes a compromise is necessary.

(1) Choose the equipment that best suits the performance index of the product to be dried. Drying device must first be able to apply to specific materials, and to meet the basic requirements for the use of material drying, including the ability to deal with the material (feeding, conveying, fluidisation, dispersion, heat transfer, discharge, etc.), and to meet the handling capacity, dehydration, product quality and other aspects of the basic requirements.

(2) Select the equipment with higher drying rate. Only on the drying rate, convection drying material highly dispersed in the hot air, the critical water content is low, drying speed, and the same convection drying, drying method of different critical water content is also different, and thus the drying rate is also different.

(3) Choose more energy-saving equipment. General conduction drying thermal efficiency can theoretically reach a high degree, convection drying can only be about 70%.

(4) Choose more economical investment equipment. Completion of the same function of the drying device, sometimes the cost difference is huge, should choose the low selection.

(5) Choose the equipment with lower running cost. Equipment depreciation, energy consumption, labour costs, maintenance costs, spare parts costs and other operating costs should be as low as possible.

(6) Priority is given to simple structure, adequate supply of spare parts, high reliability, long life of the drying device.

(7) Meet the requirements of environmental protection, good working conditions, high security.

(8) Selection can be done before the drying of the material experiments, in-depth understanding of similar materials have been used to dry the advantages and disadvantages of the device, often helps to select the right type.
