Patented Mar. 29, 1955 which are principally responsible for the temperatures 2 705 137 acting on the control devices arranged in that section.

For reducing the heat stresses, these Alfred Haltmeier, Leverkusen-Bayerwerk, Germany, asalternately heated and cooled pipes may be extended slgnor to Farbenfabriken Bayer Aktiengesellschaft, through the wall of the drying chamber so as to project Leverkusen, Germany, a corporation of Germany outwardly. This may be achieved by means of elastic expansion compensators, for instance, expansion pipes.

According to the present invention these difliculties are overcome by correlating the rate at which the wet 30 material is fed to the vacuum chamber with the speed of the beltdrien e Preferably accqmplished by pose, throttling or closing devices may be provided in means of pipes filled With wet material, said pipes conthe fuel supply e pipes, operation of whlch is started by Fleeting the drying. chamber Wlth an outside tank column the radiation guarded temperature control devices.- By closing a membrane valve which may be installed-in one of the fuel supply pipes, the gas supply Eis cut off and cool air is sent through the pipe in place of the hot combustion gases; on opening the membrane valve, the flow of gas is resumed and, on ignition by a pilot flame, again supplies heat for the drying operation.
A selectively absorbing layer may be formed as a result of the initial evaporation of moisture from the material coming out of the pipes. When thetemperatures within the drying chamber exceed adjustable limits, the heating through said pipes is correlated with the speed of the belt drier. For this purpose, in the pipes feeding the wet material transporters, gear driven pumps, rotating worms, etc. may be used,the driving gears of which are coupled with the driving gear of the belt. In order to 40 prevent air from entering these pipes the passages for the ing process, means such as a speed ventilator may be provided for rapid removal of this layer. It is advisable to remove the vapors in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the belt. When corroding vapors are formed in the drying process, it is of advantage to employ corrosion-resistant jet blowers.
The accompanying drawings illustrate .,some possible modes of execution of the present invention by way of example. e
In these drawings Fig. 1A diagrammatically indicates a side sectional view of another drier built in accordance terial to be dried emerges at the rate of the velocity of the belt. Means may be provided to prevent clogging of the slit (e. g., vibratory means) and to supply a uniform amount of material for drying (e. g., pressure means).

It is of advantage to shut oil", in the first line, those wardly. The parts of radiat ng tubes 11' pro ecting outsections of the heating appliance of the radiating surfaces wardly are surrounded by wider tubes 12'. One end of the pipes leading through the wall of the drying chamber.
.Thus heating is followed by cooling in turns.
the wider tubes 12' is fastened to said 11', the other end of the wider tubes 12' the vacuum chamber 2'.
Hot combustion gases or cooling air respectively flow through the radiating tubes 11. For this purpose there are provided gas flames 1.3 installed at the inlet of the radiating tubes 11. The combustion gases or gas flames 13' are removed by suction devices, for instance, an ejector 14, installed at the outlet of the radiating tubes 11. Radiation guarded spots in the drier at the dry end of the belt 1' are provided with temperature control devices, for instance, resistance thermometer 15', which glide upon the drying surface of the traveling belt 1 and influence other devices, for instance, change-over-switches 16', adapted to adjust the supply of fuel. When the wanted temperature is exceeded the change-over-switches 16' bar the supply of fuel from gas pipe 17 to flame 13, so that the latter extinguishes. The heating of the radiating tube 11 is now cut and the tube is simultaneously changed to cooling, since instead of the combustion gases cooling air is sucked into the radiating tube 11 by means of ejector 14. When the temperature drops again at the control device 14', the gas supply to burner 13' is released again and the gas streaming out is lighted by pilot flame 18'. The radiating tube 11 is now heated again.
Since several radiating tubes are arranged above the belt all over the band-width it is of advantage to provide for changing over each radiating tube ll' separately in order to produce uniform temperatures all over the belt 1. For this purpose each of said radiating tubes 11 is provided with a temperature control device 15 gliding upon the drying surface of the belt 1. Each temperature control device 15' influences a change-over-switch 16'. One pilot flame 18' is provided for each flame 13'. Radiation protective screens 19' and 20 made, for instance, of sheet aluminum, are arranged for reducing the radiation power of the radiation tubes 11' in undesired directions. The dried material drops otf at the roll 21' of the belt 1' into collector 22, from which it is removed from time to time.
The invention may be variously otherwise embodied within the scope of the appended claims.
