DEVICE FOR DRYING SAPROPEL Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F26B15/24 

FIELD: drying engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises pressure-tight casing, two endless chain contours mounted inside the casing and made of vertically oriented loop sections having upgoing and downgoing branches, and heat exchanger mounted for permitting blowing over all loop sections. The chains are interconnected via transverse links. The rectangular grates are freely suspended to the links and overlap the intervals between the adjacent transverse links. Two guiding members underlie the top sprockets of the loop sections and are secured to the sides of the casing by means of horizontal beams. The guiding members are shifted downward from the top point of the suspension of the grates by the length of the grates. The free ends of the guiding members are bent downward.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability.
