Definitions
- the present invention concerns a method for the drying of high-moisture waste products of living organisms.
- Another known method consists in drying waste products 'of living organisms in non-continuous drying tanks with hot air.
- the intermittent procedure involves much labor, and heat consumption is high.
- a .known system uses a drumvdrier. Heat consumption is high, and unduly long contact with the hot drier surfaces often results in the overheating or even burning of a considerable quantity of the product, with adverse effects on the quality of the final product.
- yet another known method consists in first causing the liquid to evaporate, but this requires a rather large tank with considerable ancillary apparatus. Also, the large quantity of air involved gives rise to problems of odor, which again require a large air cleansing and washing system.
- the present invention permits dried products of good quality to be obtained at relatively low heat and system costs.
- the method claimed hereunder is characterized in that the waste products are treated in a continuous dehydration press and immediately thereafter dried in a pneumatic conveying drier.
- the sole FIGURE is a flow diagram showing an embodiment of the process of the present invention.
- the first treatment of the products is in the continuous dehydration press which squeezes out much water, which then need not be evaporated. This reduces the heat requirementand the quantity of the drying air to be cleaned.
- the system required for the application of the method needs little space and does not cause any problems due to intermediate storage of the products between dehydration press and drier. Drying is very rapid because the air movement is vigorous and the particles are completely enveloped by the drying air. As a result, the surface of the particles consolidates very rapidly, thus reducing the risk of a large number of overheated or burnt particles getting stuck to the drier wall and burning up.
- the method is also suitable for exceptionally difficult products, provided that these, immediately after treatment in the continuous dehydration press, are mechanically broken up and fed into the pneumatic conveying drier.
- breaking-up which can be effected by relatively simple mechanical means, the products, which are often extruded from the dehydration press in the form of a paste, are commutated and reduced to a form suitable for pneumatic conveying drying.
- drying will be especially uniform.
- the velocity of the drying air is lower, and the particles cannot be entrained from the container of the drier before their weight has been reduced through sufficient drying.
- the economic side will be improved yet further if the drying and conveying air circulates in a closed circuit, so that, after separation of the dried product, part of the air passes into the cleaning system, while the other part, with fresh air added, is re-heated.
- An example of the application of the method concerns solids mechanically separated (as by strainers) from stale.
- the stale is pumped from the stale pit, and the solids are separated by a strainer or a centrifuge.
- the solids having an initial moisture of to percent of the wet weight, are processed by the dehydration press, having the form of a screw, to a moisture content of 40 to 50 percent of the wet weight and are then treated in the pneumatic conveying drier with drying air of 200C until their moisture content is about 15 percent.
- the resultant product can be used as manure.
- the drying air should have a temperature of at least C.
- the moisture content can range from 8 to 20 percent
- stockyard waste which may also include non-utilizable carcasses
- the product can further be fine-ground, and liquid fatty components separated in centrifuges.
- the remaining product hav' ing a moisture of 50 to 60 percent and a temperature of about 80C, passes into the dehydration press, which squeezes out further parts of fat.
- the product having a moisture of about 40 percent, passes into the pneumatic conveying drier, which treats it with air of 300 to 400C.
- the product delivered by the drier has a moisture content of about 8 percent and constitutes a very valuable feed.
- a method for the drying of high-moisture waste products of living organisms having a moisture content on the order of about 80-90 percent comprising continuously pressing said waste products to a moisture content of about 40-50 percent, continuously mechanically breaking into particles said waste product from said pressing operation, continuously passing said particles into a pneumatic conveying drier and therein simultaneously drying said particles to a moisture content between 8 and 20 percent and conveying said particles upwardly and finally out of said drier on a stream of drying air heated to at least C.
- a method in accordance with claim 1 comprising effecting said drying of said particles to a moisture content of about 15 percent.
- waste products comprise stockyard waste.
- waste products further comprise solids obtained from a sewage treatment system.
