Successful Commissioning of the Paddle Dryer

Successful Commissioning of the Paddle Dryer
Recently, the paddle dryer designed and manufactured by our company has been successfully commissioned and put into operation at the client's facility following the completion of all functional debugging and performance assessment. Key parameters including product quality, energy consumption benchmarks, and production capacity have all met the design specifications, earning high recognition from the client.

Operating Principle

The paddle shaft rotates at a low speed under the drive of the transmission system. Material enters the dryer through the feed port and is conveyed to the discharge port via the paddle shaft. Concurrently, a thermal medium—such as steam, hot water, or thermal oil—is circulated through the paddles and jacket, enabling material drying through conductive heating.

Technical Characteristics

  1. High thermal efficiency: Utilizing conductive heating, the heat utilization rate exceeds 90%. For the dual-shaft paddle dryer, the heat transfer coefficient ranges from 120 to 180 W/(m²·K), with thermal efficiency between 80% and 90%.
  2. Superior self-cleaning capability: The wedge-shaped paddles feature inherent self-cleaning properties. The dispersive force generated by the combined motion of the rotating paddles' inclined surfaces and the particle/powder bed automatically dislodges material adhering to the heated inclined surfaces, ensuring no fouling on the paddle surfaces and sustaining efficient heat transfer.
  3. Stable operation: The unique compression-expansion agitation effect of the wedge-shaped paddles ensures full contact between material particles and the heat transfer surface. Within the axial zone, minimal gradients in material temperature, moisture content, and mixing uniformity are maintained, guaranteeing process stability.
  4. Broad applicability: Capable of processing diverse materials in paste, granular, and powder forms, the dryer can perform multiple unit operations including drying, cooling, heating, sterilization, and reaction. It is suitable for applications across industries such as food processing, chemicals, petrochemicals, dyes, and industrial sludge treatment.
