CONTINUOUS-ACTION DRYING PLANT Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: this relates to drying plants and particularly to those of them intended for treating agricultural vegetation products such as grain-crops, berry, and stalk crops. Drying plant is made in the form of tunnel housing installed on supporting frame which accommodates endless belt-and-screen conveyor. Located between conveyor lines are pans for distribution of drying agent under upper line of conveyor which carries material to be dried through sections of drying plant. Installed in pans over sector of turning angle of drying agent are guide strips and this makes for more uniform distribution of drying agent under conveyor belt, thus improving drying quality of material being treated. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 5 dwg
