DRYING SYSTEMS
AMERICAN TRIPOLI – FLUIDIZED BED DRYER
-See Powder and Bulk Engineering article on this project (PDF format)
Designed a new system for the milling and drying of freshly mined tripoli stone. Included was a new vibrating fluid bed dryer, associated dust collection and fans, a new hammermill, and a number of feed and take-away conveyors. Design included lay-out, foundations, bulk handling, dust control, power and controls.
RHONE-POULENC - CATALYST DRYER
Our services were required for the design of a system for transferring high temperature catalyst (500 deg C) from the discharge of a new tray dryer to a nearby bucket elevator. We also designed an infeed system to the tray dryer, which included providing means for a uniform feed over an 8’-0" width. This uniform feed was accomplished by using a hydraulic cylinder to power a traversing 18" wide belt conveyor across an adjustable arc or width. The tray dryer manufacturer was impressed with the working concept and now advertises this infeed feature in its literature.
