Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for drying materials in granules.
- In particular, the device for drying is of the type used for drying cereals, seeds, farinaceous products and the like.
- Several different types of devices for drying are known, in particular dryers that operate on a continuous cycle, in which the material in granules to be dried is loaded and the dried material in granules is progressively discharged, and dryers that operate intermittently, in which a certain quantity of material in granules is loaded in order to then be discharged all together, once dried.
- With reference to the first type of devices for drying, the best-known are vibrating fluid bed dryers.
- This type of device is adapted to handling materials with superficial humidity, granular products or fluidifiable powders, and are, furthermore, very effective for toasting soya seeds, hazelnuts, almonds etc.
- The drying air is heated using air vein burners fueled by LPG or natural gas, or with exchangers based on steam or diathermic oil. Vibrating fluid bed dryers use working temperatures that are adapted to dry and sanitize and/or eliminate any contamination in the material.
- In general, the material to be dried is fed at one longitudinal end of a perforated conveyor belt.
- A flow of hot air is emitted below the conveyor belt while, above the belt, an aspirator removes the humidity-rich air that passes through the conveyor belt and the material to be dried.
- Vibrating fluid bed dryers, although widely used, are not devoid of drawbacks, however.
- First, the energy consumption is considerable, owing to the need to use both means for sending hot air to the fluid bed, and means for extracting air from above in order to make the air pass through the granular material so as to eliminate the humidity.
- Furthermore, with conventional devices it is not always possible to rapidly bring down certain levels of humidity.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a device for drying which is capable of improving the known art in one or more of the above-mentioned aspects.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to make available a device for drying that makes it possible to reduce running costs.
- Another object of the invention is to make available a device for drying that is capable of drastically, and rapidly, reducing the level of humidity of the material in granules to be dried.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device for drying that is highly reliable, easy to implement and low-cost.
- This aim and these and other objects which will become more apparent hereinafter are achieved by a device for drying according to
claim 1, optionally provided with one or more of the characteristics of the dependent claims. - Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the description of some preferred, but not exclusive, embodiments of the device for drying according to the invention, which are illustrated for the purposes of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings wherein:

delivery duct 5c defines aU-shaped portion 5d which is arranged below thedelivery port 4. - Specifically, the U-shaped
portion 5d has anaccess hatch 5e which can be removed for cleaning thedelivery duct 5c. - The operation of the
device 1 for drying materials in granules, according to the invention, is the following. - The material in granules to be dried is fed continuously, through the means for feeding 6, into the drying
chamber 3, and in particular at thefirst region 3a arranged above thedelivery port 4 connected to the means for producing a flow ofhot air 5. - The flow of hot air in output from the
delivery port 4 pushes the material in granules to be dried upward, in such a manner that the material remains suspended at thefirst region 3a. - The flow of hot air that strikes the material in granules to be dried makes it possible to remove its humidity, as a consequence reducing its weight so as to result in the rising upward of the material, as it progressively gets drier, until it is brought to the
second region 3b with the axially-extendedinternal chamber 10. - Still moving upwardly from below by virtue of the flow of hot air flowing out from the
delivery port 4, the dried material then passes through theoutlet port 11 and is brought, with the aid of theredirection device 20, to thedischarge region 12 which is defined outside theinternal chamber 10. - By virtue of the means for conveying 13, the dried material is then sent to the
discharge port 14. - In practice it has been found that the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects, by providing a device for continuously drying materials in granules, which is extremely efficient.
- The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims. Moreover, all the details may be substituted by other, technically equivalent elements.
- In practice the materials employed, provided they are compatible with the specific use, and the contingent dimensions and shapes, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
