Feed-and-turn driers
The feed-and-turn drier, originally developed for drying very moist maize, is a proven universal drier used a thousand times. For more than 40 years, it is included in the manufacturing programme of STELA, who introduced this drying principle in Germany. The basic principle of the feed-and-turn drier has been known for decades and such plants are built meanwhile by numerous manufacturers.
The drier
• is very robust and long-lived
• is low cost concerning investment and operation
• is uncomplicated in operation
• is flexible – a lot of different products can be dried
• works very energy-saving
• allows both continuous and discontinuous (batch) drying
• allows very variable bed depths from 40 to 500 mm
• can also be delivered "ready to plug in" in mobile design.
• the product is turned automatically completely without the use of movable belts
This means:
• longer operating life (no belt wear possible)
• also very fine products can be dried on fine-meshed gratings
• 100 % safe against leak air
Drying principle
Hot air is blown through a double bottom – a grid bottom – through the product. A mobile paddle mechanism mixes and conveys the product during the whole drying time. This simple principle guarantees an almost maintenance- and trouble-free drying process.
A carriage moves the paddle wheel across the drier for several times during the whole drying process. The direction is changed by final switches and the respective automatic control system.
This combination guarantees an optimum mixing of the product and consequently a constant and homogeneous drying. This system avoids the risk of agglomeration even for heavily polluted or moist products.
The feed-and-turn drier can be optimally used for both small and medium-sized product quantities. This is achieved by two different modes of operation: batch drying or continuous drying. Select batch drying for small quantities, i. e. the drier is filled, then the drying programme starts. If necessary, the product can be cooled after having reached the respective drying degree, then the drier is emptied automatically.
STELA developed a special paddle and drive mechanism for the drying of foliage plants, herbs, grass, pellets, granulates, wood chips, pomace and many similar products. The feed-and-turn drier with the new paddle and drive mechanism is an excellent alternative for the belt drier in the medium range of capacity up to approx. 2000 kW.
