Slurry Dryer

What is Slurry Dryer?

Slurry dryer is one kind of rotary dryer specialized in drying various slurry, including coal slime, which can be called coal slime dryer. Besides, it is utilized for the drying of sludge, the metal and nonmetal ores, clay in the cement industry, etc. Slurry dryer adopts the unique scattered device, which can scatter the bonded slurry and then come to the drying process.

It enlarges the contact area between the slurry and hot air, and the heat utilization rate can be significantly improved. The humidity of the slurry can be reduced by 50-80% after drying, which can be directly used. So, we can say that slurry dryer can turn waste into treasure. In addition, slurry dryer is of considerable production capacity. For example, coal slime dryer can effectively solve the reuse problem of slime with a processing capacity of 200 tons, 300 tons, 500 tons, 800 tons, 1000 tons, 1200 tons, 1500 tons and 2000 tons of coal slime. The R&D and production of slime drying machine is the most effective way to the recovery and utilization of coal slime.

Applications of FTM Slurry Dryer

The efficient energy-saving slurry dryer is a new kind of drying machine developed on the basis of rotary dryer, which can be widely applied to the following fields:

>> The drying of coal slime, raw coal, coal flotation concentrate, mixed coal and other materials in the coal industry;

>> The drying of blast furnace slag, clay, limestone, sand, quartz stone in construction industry;

>> All kinds of metal ore, and tailings of ore dressing industry;

>> Non-thermally sensitive materials in the chemical industry.

Slurry Dryer Application

How Slurry Dryer Works?

Slurry dryer is mainly composed of heating system, feeding system, transportation system, drying system, dust removal system, induced draft fan and electric control system. As slurry dryer is especially for drying high-humidity materials, the feeder is designed with a scattering function. The cylinder is set at a certain angle. When the slurry dryer works, the feeder firstly scatters the sticky material with double-axis circular pushing process. Based on heat exchange, scorching wind from the fan takes away the water in the material, which is rotated forwards spirally by the lifting plates under the gravity effect. Gradually, the wet material is dried to qualified humidity.

Structure of Slurry Dryer

Advantages of Slurry Dryer Machine

• Large processing capacity and stable performance. The main heat source is provided by the continuously working blowing system. Besides, the material is lifted by lifting plates ordered in a spiral way, which improves the drying efficiency and narrows the energy consumption. When drying materials of unbound-water material, the humidity can be decreased by about 60%
• Reasonably designed structure and low energy consumption. The wheel-riding adjustment allows the linear contact all the time. This process ensures a great energy saving. Also, the structure makes it realizable that this dryer machine can be applied to various fields extensively.

Attention to First Operation of Slurry Dryers

There is always a running-in period before the first operation of slurry dryer, usually for 3 days, which is to ensure the normal operation in the following manufacturing process, to lower the failure rate and to extend the service life. Therefore, more attention shall be paid to the first operation.

Firstly, the operator shall be trained before the running-in period on the structure, operation, and solutions to the usual problems. Besides, he or she shall be familiar with the manual. Secondly, in the running-in period, more checks shall be paid to the lubrication, cooling and sealing function, braking and so on. In addition, the operator shall follow the instructions for proper operation and maintenance. The dryer machine workload should not exceed 80% to avoid overheating of drying equipment. Third, be noted that at the end of the running-in period, you should check and replace each part and maintain the dryer machine.
