CONVEYOR-TYPE DRIER FOR DRYING OF FARM CROP SEED HEAP Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F26B9/06 

FIELD: agricultural engineering.

SUBSTANCE: drier has heat supply channel with heat generator connected thereto, said channel consisting of sequentially connected modules, and containers with perforated bottoms positioned on modules and tightly adhering thereto. Planar adjusting valve disposed within each module consists of two parts interconnected through cylindrical pivot hinge. One of parts is immovably attached to upper module carcass end rib maximally distant from module heat carrier inlet and to its side walls in downwardly inclined position toward heat carrier flow delivered therein. Other part of valve is shorter than said one part and is connected with lever-arm arranged at the outside of module.

EFFECT: increased efficiency by providing smooth, easy and adjustable feeding of heat carrier to container bottom and performing simultaneous drying of various crops or single crop having different moisture content by removing containers with dried heap and replacing them with newly fed containers without switching off of heat generator.
