How The Wheel Dryer Works
-
The wheel is rotating driven by a step motor through 3 main sections: drying, regeneration and cooling.
• In the first section the humid process air coming from the material hopper through a return air filter is dried in two stages and the dry air is returned by the process blower through a heating chamber to the material in the drying hopper
• Parallel to that a part of the turning wheel is in regeneration with its own dedicated heat chamber and regeneration blower
• In the cooling section a part of the wheel is cooled down before it re-turns back into the drying process
