DTI-1388 Drying Conveyor Oven
Customer directive
DTI-1388 was designed to remove water from a dense, yet porous, ceramic product. The dryer utilizes extremely high velocity airflow to force air through the product, thus removing water. A byproduct of this process is an organic oil that mixes with the water vapor. The product conveyed through this dryer cannot come into contact with metal at any time during the process. Because of this, the dryer utilizes a custom designed non-metallic high temperature conveying system.
Description
DTI-1388 consists of four zones of heat with each zone containing one natural gas burner and two circulation fans. The water/oil vapors are condensed and reclaimed at the air-to-air heat exchanger, followed by a condensing coil, and lastly a mist eliminating filter box. The air-to-air heat exchanger preheats the makeup air while helping to condense the byproducts in the exhaust air. This is also a multi-level system. The dryer and product conveyor are at ground level, while the supply fan, heat exchanger, condenser, intake and exhaust filter are located above on a mezzanine. The exhaust fan is mounted on the building roof above, outdoors.
