Do drum dryers have any requirements for materials

The drum dryer has certain requirements for materials, which are mainly based on the physical and chemical properties of the materials to ensure the efficiency, safety, and maintenance of material quality during the drying process. The following are the main requirements of the drum dryer for materials:

Humidity requirements

• Humidity range: The humidity of raw materials is one of the key factors affecting the drying effect. Normally, the humidity of raw materials should be within a certain range, as too high or too low humidity can affect the drying effect. Therefore, before using a drum dryer for drying, it is necessary to pre treat the raw materials and control the humidity within an appropriate range.

Physical property requirements

• Thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity of the raw material determines the rate of heat transfer within the material. Raw materials with good thermal conductivity can quickly transfer heat to the interior, improving drying efficiency.
• Specific heat capacity: The specific heat capacity of raw materials determines the amount of heat absorbed or released per unit mass of material during heating or cooling. The larger the specific heat capacity, the greater the amount of heat required, and the energy required for the drying process also increases accordingly.
• Humidity change curve: Different raw materials have different humidity change curves, which can affect the operating parameters and process control of the dryer. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the parameters of the dryer according to the humidity characteristics of different raw materials to achieve the best drying effect.

Other requirements

• Material stability: During the drying process, the material should be kept stable to avoid generating excessive dust or volatile substances, which may affect the drying effect and equipment operation.
• Material composition: Some special materials may contain flammable, explosive, or toxic components and require special treatment or selection of suitable drying processes and equipment before drying.

Equipment adaptability

• Equipment specifications: Drum dryers of different specifications and models are suitable for different types and quantities of materials. When selecting equipment, it is necessary to determine the appropriate equipment specifications based on the characteristics of the materials and production requirements.
• Equipment adjustment: The speed, temperature, air volume and other parameters of the drum dryer need to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the material and the drying requirements to achieve the best drying effect.

In summary, the requirements of drum dryer for materials mainly include humidity, particle size, physical properties, and other special requirements. In order to ensure the efficiency, safety, and maintenance of material quality during the drying process, it is necessary to carry out sufficient pretreatment and adjust equipment parameters according to the characteristics of the materials and production requirements.
