Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for drying a water-containing mixture comprising at least one body which can be moved along a closed orbital path and is situated in the mixture during a first part of the orbital path and is situated outside the mixture during a second part of the orbital path.
  • the present invention relates in particular to a device for drying slurry.
  • the flotation thickener comprises a tank into which small air bubbles are blown in order thus to create a separation between the solids and the water which is present.
  • a third technique is mechanical thickening, in which the water is separated off by means of mechanical forces, as a result of which higher solids contents can be achieved compared to the techniques mentioned earlier.
  • the present invention relates in particular to such mechanical thickeners.
  • a number of (drying) devices are known for mechanically thickening water-containing mixtures.
  • an endlessbelt screen or thickening table in which the mixture to be thickened is poured onto a movable endless belt, are known. Due to the screening action of the belt, the mixture can be drained, as it were.
  • the mixture to be thickened is poured into a container.
  • This container is provided with a number of perforated conveyor belts which are situated next to one another and partly extend into the mixture. Thickening is achieved by conveying the mixture away from the mixture by means of the conveyor belts and subsequently drying the mixture by passing an air flow through the perforations.
  • this thickening procedure has the drawback that the conveyor belts are subjected to high wear.
  • the various components (e.g. shafts, roller bearings) of the device can be damaged or soiled by the mixture to be thickened, as a result of which these components become jammed and have to be replaced on a regular basis.
  • BE 401889 discloses the preamble of claim 1.
  • Another device is known from FR 2 874 605 .
  • FR-A-2 645 042 describes a device for drying a water-containing mixture, comprising a trough and one or a number of series of parallel discs driven in rotation by horizontal shafts. The discs are half-immersed in the product to be dried.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by providing a device for drying a water-containing mixture according to claim 1.
  • This device has the advantage that, in use, only the plate-shaped entraining elements come into contact with the water-containing mixture, as a result of which downtime as a result of damaged or soiled components can be reduced to a minimum.
  • This invention furthermore offers the advantage that a large number of plate-shaped entraining elements can be provided in the device, as a result of which, on the one hand, a large amount of mixture to be dried can be entrained and, on the other hand, a large drying surface is created in the second part of the orbital path. In this way, mixtures can be dried (thickened) much more quickly.
  • the device in a preferred embodiment, comprises ventilation means for generating an air flow directed at the device in order to dry the entrained mixture during the second part of its orbital path.
  • the generated air flow is heated.
  • the temperature of the generated air flow is between 20 and 130°C.
  • the plate-shaped entraining elements extend substantially along the central rotation axis.
  • said body comprises two side walls, with each plate-shaped entraining element being connected to both side walls.
  • Said entraining elements are preferably fixedly arranged between both side walls.
  • said body is provided in a housing, said housing comprising an inlet and outlet for the air flow generated by the ventilation means.
  • the generated air flow is, as it were, forced across the entraining elements which are situated in the second part of their orbital path, in order to achieve an optimum drying effect in this manner.
  • the device furthermore comprises drive means for the body, in particular for the rotor.
  • the drive means preferably consist of asynchronous motors.
  • said device comprises a storage container for the water-containing mixture.
  • the device (1) is a drying device for water-containing mixtures.
  • This device (1) can in particular be used for drying (thickening) manure, slurry, sludge, industrial effluents, and the like.
  • the device (1) comprises a body (2) which can be moved along a closed orbital path and is situated in the mixture during a first part of the orbital path and is situated outside the mixture during a second part of the orbital path. It is obvious that it is also possible to achieve the effect of the invention by providing two or more of such bodies (2) next to one another.
  • the movable body (2) is in particular a rotor which is rotatable about a central axis (8) and which comprises a number of fixedly arranged plate-shaped entraining elements (3) which are designed to entrain the mixture to be dried from the first part to the second part.
  • the plate-shaped entraining elements (3) extend along approximately the entire length of the device (1) in a direction along the rotation axis. As the entraining elements (3) have a certain width (preferably variable between 0.5 and 2 m), they will also partly extend (see Fig. 3 ) in the direction of the central axis (8).
  • the plate-shaped entraining elements (3) When the movable body (2) is rotated, the plate-shaped entraining elements (3) will be immersed one by one and at least partly (first part) into the mixture provided in the storage container (7). Preferably, the entraining elements (3) are completely immersed in the mixture provided in the storage container (7). As a result of the immersion, part of the mixture will cling to the elements (3) and be carried along to the second part, where the entrained mixture can dry.
  • the device (1) is furthermore provided with ventilation means (not shown) for generating an air flow (L) directed at the device (1) in order to dry the mixture carried along by the entraining elements (3) during the second part of its orbital path.
  • This air flow is preferably a hot air flow and may, for example, emanate from an electrical group, flue gasses from a chimney, air from a stable, etc.
  • the rotor is provided in a housing (5) (see Fig. 1 ), said housing (5) comprising an inlet and outlet for the air flow (L) generated by the ventilation means.
  • the rotor is arranged in such a manner that only the plate-shaped entraining elements (3) come into contact with the mixture. As a result thereof, downtime as a result of damaged or soiled components can be reduced to a minimum.
  • the rotor comprises two circular side walls (4) situated opposite one another.
  • one end of the plate-shaped entraining elements (3) is connected to the one side wall (4) and the other end is connected to the other side wall (2).
  • Said entraining elements (3) are positioned at a certain distance from one another and are, as can be seen in Fig. 3 , placed on this rotor in the shape of a fan in the direction (of rotation) (R) of the rotor.
  • the plate-shaped entraining elements (3) can be designed to be flat, deflected or profiled. They are preferably made of stainless steel.
  • the entraining elements (3) may have both a smooth and a perforated surface. Their surface may also be provided with protuberances by means of, for example, sandblasting.
  • the device (1) according to the invention may be provided with a large number of plate-shaped entraining elements (3) as a result of which, on the one hand, a large amount of mixture to be dried can be entrained and, on the other hand, a much greater drying surface is created in the second part of the orbital path, compared to the known thickeners, as is clear from the following example.
  • each rotor comprises 40 plate-shaped entraining elements (3) which as it were move along a closed orbital path, as they form part of the movable body (2), with each entraining element (3) being situated in the mixture during a first part of its orbital path and being situated outside the mixture during a second part of its orbital path.
  • the arrangement of the rotor and the dimensions (in particular the width) of the various entraining elements (3) are such that there are always 8 entraining elements (3) which are immersed in the water-containing mixture.
  • there are 32 entraining elements (3) which are situated in the second part of their orbital path.
  • one entraining element (3) has the following dimensions: length: 3 m; width: 0.75 m; thickness: 1.5 mm.
  • one side of an entraining element has a surface area of 2.25 m 2 .
  • the total drying surface of the device is formed by these 32 plates.
  • the dimensions of the entraining elements can be greater or smaller or the number of entraining elements (3) of the device can be higher (e.g. 60 or 80) or lower (e.g. 25 or 35).
