Definitions

  • the invention relates to drying machines, and has particular reference to a continuous centrifugal machine for drying coal and other wet solids and materials, and has for its object to provide a drying machine embodying certain basic principles which are utilized to produce a method of drying su. perror and more etiicient 1n many respects than obtained by similar drying machines now in practical use and which latter machines are characterized by the employment of centrifugal force alone.
  • my invention is an improvement upon centrifugal driers'noW in use, and which are usually of the intermittent or batch type, and the operation of which must be discontinued periodically in order to remove the dried product.
  • the discharge of the dried product is usually accomplished by means of a conveyor or scraper rotating in the same direction but at 'a slightlyrdiil'erent speed from 'the drier screen casing, and the tendency of which is to scrape the coal from the screens.
  • Another method of discharge is the Vemployment of traps or gatesin the periphery yof the drier screen which are opened intermittently by a controlling device rotating at a slightly different speed from the screen, and through which gates the material passes from the drier.
  • a serious drawback to this class of drier lies in the fact that the action of the centrifugal force-tends to pack'the coal or other material firmly againstvthe screen surface, quickly rendering the mass impervious to the passage ofthe liquid.
  • An object of the presentinvention is to provide a drying machine in which the material to be dried;l preferably coal or the like, is projected with considerable centrifugal force consecutively against a series of frusto-conical screens arranged in stepped relation to one another, the force of impact of the material with the screens effecting a separat-ion of the liquid from the material, and the arrangement being such that the liquids are projected through the perforations in the respective screen elements while i the solid material is passed over the screens and subsequently discharged from the drying apparatus.
  • Certain forces may be employed for pro- 'ecting or discharging the undried material at high velocity against the screen ⁇ such as air pressure, pump pressure, or centrifugal force, with a result that the water or other liquid is removed from the material by impact against the screen. and this separation is not dependent upon a whirling action or centrifugal force employed upon a motionless mass.
  • a further object of the invention is the removal of the time factor, the water. or other liquid being removed from the material eiiciently and instantaneously.
  • a further object of the invention resides inthe fact.that the force employed to remove the water or other liquid is directed upon the articles of coal or other material as the umts, as distinguished from the application of the force to the mass of material as a unit, thereby ⁇ eliminating the restraining forces due to the packing of the mass and the carrying of the finer particles through the mass by the liquid to the outer surface adjacent the screen. and preventing the formation of capillary tubes.
  • a further object of the invention resides in the provision of means for distributing or projecting the material to be dried over the area of the entire screen surface, the force being employed to create an impact at high velocity of the particles of undried material against the screen, and to thereafter move the particles progressively over a. series of screens arranged in stepped relation',lwith a decreasing moisture content of the particles and with progressive impacts attended by increasing centrifugal force to remove a maximum amount ol water or other liquid.
  • a further object of the invention resides in the provision of an apparatus of the character described which is of simple construction, which will be automatic in operation, and which may be readily varied and controlled at will according to the physical nature of the material to be dried.
  • a further object of the invention is the provision'of an apparatus of increased drying eiiiciency and which may be readily and conveniently adjusted to accommodate a considerable range of sizes of coals or other materials, thus reducing the cost of maintenance and increasing the factors of performance and durability.
  • the invention further provides a simple and efficient means for removing water or other liquids from various materials at a minimum cost.
