Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drying apparatus for ceramic products, such as tiles, plates or the like.
  • the present invention relates to a drying apparatus of the in-line type, i.e. an apparatus in which the ceramic products transit on conveying means, such as rollers, entering with a determined degree of moisture and exiting with a lower degree of moisture, ready to be subjected to subsequent treatments and/or processing.
  • a drying apparatus of the in-line type i.e. an apparatus in which the ceramic products transit on conveying means, such as rollers, entering with a determined degree of moisture and exiting with a lower degree of moisture, ready to be subjected to subsequent treatments and/or processing.
  • a drying step is provided to minimise the residual moisture content in the formed products, before subjecting them to the subsequent firing step.
  • the drying step and the firing step there may be one or more intermediate decoration steps, in which, for example, enamels or decorating elements are applied onto the ceramic products.
  • drying makes it possible to reduce the moisture content of ceramic products and, consequently, to provide them with greater dimensional stability.
  • in-line plants comprising one or more drying apparatuses that have at least one channel for the transit of the ceramic products to be treated. During the transit along the channel, the ceramic products are hit by strong jets or streams of hot air, at controlled temperature, thereby accelerating the process for the removal of moisture from said products.
  • the hot air that is introduced into the dryer, subtracts moisture from the ceramic products and is subsequently returned outside the drying plant to be partly recovered and partly expelled through a dedicated chimney.
  • Traditional drying systems can have a modular structure comprising one or more thermal drying units/apparatuses aligned in mutual succession and operatively connected to means for blowing dry air within them. Generally, each drying thermal unit is fastened to the ground.
  • the thermal units have a thermally insulated chamber within which are provided one or more channels or tunnels along which the ceramic products to be dried are conveyed.

  • Each channel is associated with means for blowing hot air into the channel itself and comprises a roller conveyor for the conveyance of the ceramic products.
  • each thermal unit has a respective inlet section, for the introduction of the ceramic products to be dried, and an outlet section. If multiple thermal units are installed along the drying plant, positioned in mutual succession, the outlet section of one thermal unit is associated with the inlet section of the next thermal unit. This arrangement is repeated for the remaining thermal units forming the drying plant.
  • Accessibility to the interior of the channels is limited by the conformation of the inlet and outlet sections as well as by the number of thermal units present in the plant.
  • the opening provided at the inlet and outlet section indeed, has reduced breadth.
  • the innermost portions of the channels, that are positioned distal from the inlet or outlet section, are hard to reach.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to improve the state of the art pertaining to an apparatus for drying ceramic products.
