In the clay brick production process, the importance and complexity of drying cannot be overemphasized; It determines the efficiency, cost, and most importantly, the quality of the bricks.
If only the thermal factors are considered, we can think of the drying process to be a complete convective heat transfer process, and there are three determining factors:
(1) The temperature of the drying medium;
(2) the contact area between the drying medium and the clay brick;
(3) the flow rate of the drying medium;
When we introduce the above three factors into the design of brick dryers, we must consider the influence of industrial production on the drying process:
(1) How to make the temperature field of the whole drying furnace evenly distributed and eliminate the temperature difference to heat every piece of product evenly?
(2) How to make each brick have the largest area in contact with hot air, which involves how to stack wet billets and the way to send hot air.
(3) How to control the hot air flow rate inside the drying furnace and control the dehydration rate of the green body; It is required to increase the drying speed and ensure the safety of the product at the same time.
Balancing drying efficiency and drying quality in the drying process is extremely challenging, which requires overall planning of products, raw materials, drying kiln design, and control of the drying system. Only by making customized drying solutions can we contribute to customers.
Our years of experience in intermittent chamber dryers, continuous dryers, fast roller dryers, hot air circulation systems, diversified hot air supply management systems, and controllable moisture exhaust management systems can contribute to your success.
