Rotor Drum Drying system

1 Overview
Drum dryer can be widely used in drying lightweight materials, such as sawdust,
wood chips, feed raw materials, straw, alcohol residue, lees, garbage, food waste, etc.
According to the requirements of Final product it can have different heat sources,
such as: direct hot wind type, indirect type and contact heat exchange type, the main
heat source equipment: hot air stove, traveling grate stove, boiling furnace, natural
gas, methane gas,gas, electric heating furnace, steam, thermal oil, and so on.

2,Working principle and Features

2.1 Principle
Wet material fed inside main rotor drum through the feeding [Link]
drying,the wet material will Uniformly dispersed by paddle and effective contact with
hot air or hot pipes(if thermal oil inside). During the drying process, the material
moves from inlet to outlet direction by the wind pressure and gravity as well as the
paddle turns.
Hot air goes with Fine particles though [Link] fine particles will collected and
waste air will pass through the bag dust collector then after fan it goes to air.(check
the following flow chart)
2.2 Features

3、 Safe operation
3.1 Conditions needed before operating

3.1.1、Confirm power is on and the voltage shows 415V.

3.1.2、Close the gate of fan.

3.1.3、Confirm no contact or friction between moving parts with fixed

parts.
3.2 Start up/shut down sequence

3.2.1、Start up：

Turn on the air compressure（reach to 0.5MPa）→（air pressure

shows 0.4Mpa on top of bags dust collector gasholder）switch on

impulse control bu on→turn on the bo om screw of bag dust

collector→switch on air lock of the cyclone→switch on the fan→switch

on outlet screw→switch on rotor drum→start heat source→open fan

gate to 1/2 possi on→（wait until outlet temperature reach to 60℃）

start screw feeding→start belts conveyor inlet material。

3.2.2、Shut down：

Close the heat source→reduce half feeding capacity as well as

lower the speed of rotor drum（keep outlet temperature between

60-100℃）→（when inlet temperature reduce to 100-150℃）shut down

the feeding belts conveyor→switch off the feeding screw→switch off

the rotor drum→switch off the fan→switch off the impulse control

bu on→switch off the bo om screw of bag dust collector→switch off

the air lock of cyclone→switch off the outlet.

3.3、Safety precautions of each part

3.3.1、air compressure(according to suppliers instruct)

3.3.2、impulse control refers to attachment 1

3.3.3、belts coveyor

A）Routine inspection should be done before switch [Link]

 fasteners, good lubrication performance of the equipment,

etc.

b）Check whether the motor running direction is correct；

c) Conveyor belt around clean, without sundry；

d） Remain empty load before start；

e) Timing adjustment tensioning device, tight conveyor belt to

avoid conveyor belt running deviation；

f) Whether there are abnormal noise, handle in time when

problems found；

g) Check reducer no abnormal noise.

h) If find out motor, bearing temperature rise quickly, should be

emergency stop, find out the reason.

3.3.4、feeding screw conveyor

a) check turning direction before switch on; check the screws and

chute is clean; check the lubrication is good；

b) Remain empty load before start；

c）After start pay attention to check whether there are abnormal

noise, handle in time when problems found；

d) If discover motor, bearing temperature rise quickly, should be

emergency stop, find out the reason；

3.3.5、 Fan

(1) Fan operating procedures: before the start of the fan and should
undertake the following preparation。

① Close the gate

②Check the oil level bearing box between the lowest and the highest oil

level.

③Check the fan inlet gap size, rotational part and fixed part if there is a

phenomenon of collision and friction

④Check electrical circuit and instrument。

When the fan starts to gradually to normal speed adjust the gate

until the specified load。

(2)Emergency cut off fan

As noted fan has a severe noise, vibration, impact, bearing

temperature sharp increase of abnormal phenomenon, must be

emergency stop, find out the reason.

（3）、The maintenance of the fan

In order to avoid the artificial fault caused by improper maintenance and

accident, give full play to the efficiency of the equipment, prolong the

service life of equipment. Therefore, must keep the maintenance of the

fan。

㈠matters need attention of maintenance：

1、Only work the fan under the normal situation.

2、 pay attention to each part of the fan is normal after it maintenance。

3、clean the fan blades inside every 3month or incase necessary

4、In order to ensure the personal safety, maintenance of the fan should

be carried out when stop.

㈡matters need attention of running

1、found not match the running requirement, adjusted the gate of fan in

order to meet the requirements of use.

2、Sensitivity of bearing box oil thermometer and mark should be check

regularly.

3、In fan drive, switch off or running process, such as found abnormal

phenomenon, should immediately check and fix

4、if small problems found try to solve if big problems found need stop

and check-fix

5、When adding lubricating oil should be replaced every time after

repairing, pay attention to the quality of the oil, under normal

circumstances, oil change periodically according to the actual situation,

regularly check the impeller, to repair or replace the impeller in a timely

manner.

The causes of failure

㈠ fan shacking hardly

①The fan shaft and motor shaft is different line；

②Casing or inlet friction with impeller；

③Foundation stiffness or not strong enough；

④Impeller rivets loose or deformation of the impeller；

⑤Impeller shaft hole is loose with the shaft of motor；

⑥attachment bolts loose；

⑦Piping installation at the inlet and outlet of the fan has a problem, to

produce resonance；

⑧Leaf blade with dust, dirt, deformation of blade wear, impeller, shaft

bending creates an unbalanced rotor

㈡ Bearing Temperature too high

①Bearing box vibration;

②Lubricating oil quality bad, bad, or containing impurities such as dust,

sand, dirt or oil filling not enough;

③Bearing box cover, seat of the connecting bolt force is too tight or too

loose；

④Axis and skew rolling bearing installation, before and after the two

different bearings centre；

⑤ Antifriction bearing is damage or bend。

3.3.6 Main rotor drum operation

a) Check the reducer; electric fastener; reducer oil; keep equipment

clean；

b) Check whether the motor running direction is correct；

c) Keep inside empty before turnning；

d) keep the inside drum is clean; confirm the support wheel is clean

around
e) Check the speed controller shut to minimum and the button is off；

f) Swith on the drum switch and open the speed control button and rise

up the speed to 20-50HZ as it;s normal speed；when it’s on please

check if there is any unnormal noise/

h)；Check the bearing temperature, no-load temperature rise shall not

exceed 30 ℃, such as more than 30 ℃, should stop to check out。

3.3.7、Cyclone

b) Check whether the connection parts connecting firmly.

C) Check dust and flue dust and ash hopper, hopper and the ash

discharging device of the air tightness, eliminate ash leakage.

d) turn on the air lock and close the fan gate. start the fanif

everthing is going right open the fan gate little by little.

e) if the pipe shacking and leaking too much. Shut down the

system and make good.

4、Parameters of start operation with running operations

4.1 Raw material is sundry impurities (such as: iron, ore, etc.), so as to

avoid damage to the equipment.

4.2 Temperature controller is designed according to the drying condition

of material on [Link] set under 1000 ℃.

4.3 The temperature of the hot air into the dryer general requirements
at about 400-800 ℃，May take a specific temperature according to

different materials，the outlet temperature is adjusted by fan [Link]

the testing time the temperature;feeding speed and the rotor speed

must consider together and achieve consistent in order to get stable

output， inlet temperature differet with in 50℃ will NOT effect the

resault.

4.4 the material feeding speed controled by bottom screw conveyor of

wet [Link] this speed need calculate from raw material

moisture;water vaporing speed as well as the hot air source

temperature.

4.5 The speed of main rotor drum should fixed by raw [Link]

working speed between 30-45Hz. The specific parameters should

calculate as above saying by raw material moisture;water vaporing

speed as well as the hot air source temperature .

4.6 During production process, if there is an [Link] the stop

button.
