Definitions
- the invention refers to a plant for drying the bricks in extremely fast mode and to the method of production able to make such processing. With the invented dryer final products are obtained rapidly and with particular dimensions and sizes.
- the plants for drying of bricks have in the time undergone several transformations and evolutions. It has gone from dryers of big dimension, with drying time from eight to sixty hours, where the drying time changes in relation to the kind of clay to be treated and to the kind of piece to be dried, till to arrive to the more efficient semi-rapid type systems with drying time of three to six hours and to the super-rapid types with rollers with drying time of forty-five to ninety, hundred and twenty minutes.
- the difference of permanence of the pieces into the dryer is not only due to the physical characteristics of the clay mixture and to the geometry of pieces but also and in particular to the temperature and moisture uniformity between the different parts of the piece to be dried.
- a drying process which ensures, during all the cycle, uniformity of temperature and constant moisture content into the piece permits to arrange a fast drying.
- This fast drying process considering the characteristics of the material and the geometry of the piece, also ensures a total absence of cracks during the drying process. It may occur cracks during the drying those manifest not so much for the fast of the process but principally for the different contractions which suffer the different parts of the same piece when they are at different temperatures and with different water quantity content, those depend from different and not uniform distribution of the air used in the process for the piece to be dried.
- the roller fast dryer For the different drying systems used until today the one that is closest to realize the perfect conditions of high uniformity of the thermos-hygrometric conditions is currently the roller fast dryer.
- This plant consists of a tunnel containing a carpet of rollers to transport the pieces with a width from two to four meters and a length of approximately hundred, hundred and twenty meters with hot air introduced into the tunnel in correspondence of the exit of the dried pieces.
- the rollers movement is in continuous and it is arranged with variable speed from zone to zone, with at least five zones usually realized in the length of the dryer.
- the temperature of the air in entrance with the direction opposite to the advancement of the pieces, has values one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty Celsius degrees while the air temperature at the entrance of the introduced pieces has values comprise from forty to fifty Celsius degrees.
- the air extraction is arranged by one of more centrifugal ejecting fans, those are apparatuses with high aerodynamic performance.
- the ventilation system is dimensioned in such a way to guarantee s speed of the air lapping the pieces to be dried at approximately twelve, twenty meters per second.
- the rollers dryer has a lot of disadvantages. In fact into the rollers dryer the pieces to be dried cannot have dimensions lower than two hundred millimeters in the sense of the ventilation. Other disadvantage of the rollers dryers is given to the fact that in this kind of dryer the width to load the e pieces cannot be more than four meters to not have bending problems of the rollers. Said bending, in particular way for pieces of high weight, determines movements for some files toward the sides of the dryer tunnel, with obvious effects of misalignment and in particular for rotation of the pieces of many degrees, i.e. from twenty to thirty degrees with different ventilation inside the pieces.
- the high speed dryer provides then a proceeding for the production of bricks consisting of: a) loading of the pieces to be dried with automatic apparatus, as for example a robotic gripper, b) placing incoming of the pieces to be dried placed onto platforms in rows and columns aligned with boring in favor of the hot air flow to be placed by the trolleys inside the drying tunnel, c) incoming from the opposite end in comparison with that of incoming of the pieces to be dried of a hot air flow with working speed onto the pieces to be dried from fourteen to twenty meter per second, with low humidity in entrance and temperature variable from one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty Celsius degrees, with the volume of the air current that is in function of the type of the clay and of the pieces to be dried, having a value in average comprises from two hundred to two hundred and fifty cubit meter per minute for ton for hour of dried material, d) expulsion of the moist air by the dryer inlet by one or more ejecting fans, e) advancement of the trolleys inside the dryer such as at the entrance of the first correspond the
- Figure 1 is cross section view of the dyer according the invention with side return of the trolleys, wherein the particular A shows the embodiment with track under the platform and the particular B shows the embodiment with track lateral the platform.
- Figure 1A is plant view of the dryer according the invention with lateral return of the trolleys.
- Figure 2 is cross section view of the invention with lower return of the trolleys.
- Figure 3 is longitudinal section view of the dryer according the invention with at right automatic loading and to the left unloading of the dried material.
- figure 4 is longitudinal loading and unloading layout of the to be dried and dried pieces in the embodiment with lower return of the trolleys.
- the high speed dryer for bricks comprises a heat generator 1 , one or more introducing fans 2 for hot air 3 in the opposite direction respect to the advancement of the pieces to be dried 4 and one or more ejecting fans 5 for the moist air and it consists of a transport system 6 of the pieces to be dried 4 arranged with one or more platforms 7 placed onto trolleys 8, with the platforms 7 also superimposed two by two, with the trolleys 8 having wheels 9 suitable to slide onto tracks 10 placed at the side 12, or lower, of the drying tunnel 13.
- the advancement of the trolleys 8 into the drying tunnel is arranged for push of the introduced trolleys 8.
- the advancement of the trolleys 8 can be arranged with other modalities, such for example catenaries, roller conveyors or similar.
- the drying tunnel 13 is insulated to avoid losing of hot.
- the hot air flow so licks the pieces to be dried, both outside than inside, with constant hot air flow and without excessive turbulences.
- the placement of the wheels 9 at the sides of the trolleys or lowering avoids to perturb the hot air flow inside the dryer.
- the dryer tunnel 13 has an entrance of small sizes, normally not exceeding three, four square meters.
- the length of the dryer tunnel 13 can change to sixty till one hundred and sixty meters in relation to the characteristics of the material to be dried.
- Inside the dryer tunnel 13 can be introduced further hot air flows 3 in intermediate positions with pipes equipped with automatic valves driven to a check system for detection the heat so to have optimal values for the ideal curve of drying.
- the platforms 7 may have different sizes, as dedicated for particular pieces to be dried with hot air flow 3 parallel to the piece.
- the high speed dryer for bricks provides a return line 4 for the trolleys 8 consisting of tracks 10 in relation to the space wherein the invention is located.
- the return line 14 can be placed lateral or under the dryer and placed with return of the trolleys 8 near the entrance of the drying tunnel 13 to help the loading of the material in continuity.
- the introducing and ejecting fans 2 and 5 are preferable centrifugal. With these fans the average power consumption will be on average equal to eight, nine kWh for ton of produced brick.
- the volume of hot air 3 changes in relation to the type of clay and of the pieces to be dried and it has an average value of two hundred, two hundred and fifty cubic meters per minute for tons in a hour of dried material.
- the heat generator 1 can use hot air of cooling of the ovens into where the brick is cooked.
- the high speed dryer then provides a proceeding for their production consists of: a) loading of the pieces to be dried with automatic device 11 , such as a robotic gripper, b) input incoming in the dryer of the pieces to be dried 4 placed onto platforms 7 in rows and columns aligned with hollow in favor of the hot air flow 3 to be then placed by the trolleys 8 inside the drying tunnel 13, c) input at the opposite end to the incoming of the pieces to be dried 4 of a hot air flow 3 with working speed onto the pieces to be dried 4 from fourteen to twenty meter per second, with low humidity and temperature of the hot air flow 3 variable from one hundred and fifty t one hundred and eighty Celsius degrees, d) ejecting of the damp air from the input of the dryer by one or more ejecting fans 5, e) advancement of the trolleys 8 inside the dryer so that at the entrance of the first corresponds the output of the last on the opposite side, f) recovery by return line 14 of the trolleys 8 outgoing to the dryer prolonged up to the loading point of the pieces to be dried,
- the high speed dryer for bricks and the proceeding for their production give an improvement in the quality of the produced pieces, with more speed in the production and a containment in the costs of the plant in comparison with the plant known in the art.
- the invented dryer is possible of different variations and modifications, all part in the invented object, moreover all the details can be changed with other technically equivalent without going out from the protection field sets out to the claims
