Application, classification and working principle of fluidized bed dryer

With the continuous development of application technology, the types and applications of fluidized bed dryers are also increasing, and the classification methods of equipment are also different. According to the materials to be dried, they can be divided into three categories: the first type is granular material; the second type is paste material; the third type is liquid material such as suspension and solution. According to the operating conditions, there are basically two types: continuous and intermittent. According to the state of the structure, there are general fluidized type, stirred fluidized type, vibration, fluidized type, pulsed fluidized type, and collision fluidized type (inert particles are used as carriers). With the continuous improvement and expansion of fluidized bed drying equipment, it has become one of the main models of drying equipment.

The following mainly introduces single-layer and multi-layer fluidized bed dryers:

1. Single cylinder fluidized dryer

Single-layer fluidized bed can be divided into continuous and intermittent operation methods. The continuous operation residence time is widely distributed, and the average residence time required is actually long, so it is often applied to products that are relatively easy to dry, or products whose drying degree is not very strict. In 1969, a large-scale fluidized bed drying device with a diameter of 3000mm was designed and built to dry ammonium chloride. The single-layer fluidized bed can also be used for the drying of materials with high water content. The water content is 35%. The drying of calcium gluconate is an example. The operation is intermittent. When the material is discharged, the distribution plate is turned over by 90°, and the material is discharged at the lower part of the bed. The batch-operated single-layer fluidized bed dryer was also successfully used for the drying of a catalyst having a water content of 20%, and the discharge was carried out by blowing the material into a cyclone with a high-speed gas stream. For some materials with uneven graininess and certain viscosity, a low bed operation with a stirrer in the bed is often used. The drying of the anhydride casein and the drying of the coconut are carried out by this method.

Single-layer cylindrical fluidized dryers are generally used for products that are easier to dry or less dry. Since the particles in the fluidized bed are close to the fully mixed state, in order to reduce the discharge of the undried particles, it is necessary to lengthen the average residence time, so that the height of the fluidized bed must be increased, and the pressure loss is also increased. Due to this characteristic, it is necessary to use hot air having the highest temperature as possible to increase the thermal efficiency and appropriately reduce the bed height. Therefore, the single-layer cylindrical fluidized bed dryer is only suitable for drying materials containing surface water and not strict to dryness.

Second, GZQ vibrating fluidized bed dryer D2

Performance characteristics:

The vibration source is driven by a vibration motor, which is stable in operation, convenient in maintenance, low in noise and long in life.

The fluidization is well-proportioned, and there is no dead space and blow-through phenomenon, so that uniform drying and cooling of the product can be obtained.

Good adjustability, suitable for wide surface. Stepless adjustment is achieved by layer thickness and movement speed in the machine as well as full amplitude changes.

It has little damage to the surface of the material and can be used for the drying of fragile materials. The irregularity of the material particles does not affect the working effect.

The fully enclosed structure effectively prevents cross-contamination between materials and air, and the working environment is clean.

High mechanical efficiency and thermal efficiency, good energy saving effect, energy saving 30-60% than general drying equipment.

Second, multi-layer vibration fluidized bed dryer

The multi-layer fluidized bed dryer can increase the drying time of the material and improve the uniformity of the water content of the dried product, thereby facilitating the control of the dry quality of the product. However, as the number of layers increases in the multi-layer fluidized bed dryer, the distribution plate increases correspondingly, and the bed resistance increases. At the same time, between the layers, the material should be quantitatively transferred from the upper layer to the lower layer, and to ensure a stable fluidization state, an overflow device must be used, which increases the complexity of the equipment structure. For the removal of moisture-bound materials, it is appropriate to use a multi-layer fluidized bed. For example, a double-layer fluidized bed is used to dry aminopyrine with a water content of 15% to 30%; a five-layer fluidized bed is used to dry the polyester resin to make the moisture content of the product reach 0.03%, which are successful examples.

(1) Working principle of multi-layer vibrating fluidized bed dryer

The two vibrating motors installed in the lower part of the main machine synchronously rotate in reverse, so that the main body composed of the multi-layer annular orifice plate mounted thereon generates vertical vibration and torsional vibration, so that the material entering from the feeding port is horizontally ring-shaped. The orifice plate continuously jumps from the upper layer to the lower layer. The hot air passes through the layer of material from the lower layer to the upper layer through the layers of the orifice to achieve uniform drying of the material.

(two) performance characteristics

(1) Saving energy. Since the material is opposite to the hot air and is fully reversely contacted, the dryer of the same type saves 30% of heat energy and saves 10% of electric energy.

(2) The drying quality is high and the effect is good. The material jumps along the horizontal annular orifice plate, so there is no local overheating and uneven drying. The material has a low crushing rate and less wear, and the finished product moisture content is less than 0.1%.

(3) Investment province. Thanks to the multi-layer form, the material moves vertically in a ring shape, so it is compact and covers only one-fifth of the same type of dryer. It is rugged, reliable, easy to maintain and lightweight.

(4) Wide use. The material movement state and flow rate can be adjusted steplessly, so that the powdery material with a water content of not less than 40% and a temperature not exceeding 400 °C can be applied. (5) Low noise and good vibration isolation performance. It can be floated on the floor and is easy to install and dispose, and the working environment is good. (6) High production efficiency. When the material moves, it is in full contact with hot air many times, and the thermal efficiency is high, so the hourly output is 2.2~3 times that of the same type of dryer.

(III) Application range of multi-layer vibrating fluidized bed dryer

This machine is suitable for drying and cooling of powdery materials in food, chemical, medicine, feed, bait, plastic, salt, grain, seed, tobacco, sugar, metallurgy and other industries.
