Overview of Telford Smith's Mechanical Dryer:
Telford Smith's Mechanical Dryer goes beyond being just a piece of equipment – it serves as your trusted partner in drying. Let's delve into its key components and how they collaborate to ensure optimal drying performance.
Engineered with reliability, Telford Smith's Mechanical Dryer comprises of the following main components:
- Rotor Housing: Crafted from galvanised carbon steel and placed on anti-vibration pads to insulate vibrations from the base frame and ground.
- Water Spray Nozzles: Running along the primary length of the Mechanical Dryer, these spray nozzles located in the upper section of the housing, aid in introducing clean water and preventing the build-up of fine materials on the outside of the screens.
- Rotor and Bearing Assemblies: Featuring a dynamically balanced rotor, with bearings spaced out by a spacer box, provide durability and reliability while preventing water ingress and capturing potential leaks.
- Screen, 2-Piece Design: Constructed of stainless-steel and bolted together in a clam shell configuration, these screens surround the rotor to prevent material loss and ensure efficient drying.
- Motor Mount with Drive: The motor mount facilitates easy installation of the drive motor, ensuring optimal tension of V-belts for consistent performance.
Advantages of Telford Smith's Mechanical Dryer:
Telford Smith's Mechanical Dryer offers a range of advantages that set it apart:
- Large Tank Access Door: Equipped with two robust clamps and a rack-and-pinion crank mechanism, the sizable tank access door allows effortless maintenance and cleaning procedures.
- Dual Spray Bars: Two spray bars on the infeed side aid in screen cleaning and prevent buildup of fine materials, enhancing overall efficiency.
- Replaceable Hardox Tips: With Hardox tips, the rotor can withstand heavy use, ensuring longevity and durability.
- Stainless Steel Screens: Corrosion-resistant screens contribute to the machine's reliability and longevity.
- Heavy-Duty Galvanised Body: The robust body construction crafted from heavy duty 5mm thick hot dip galvanised carbon steel ensures durability and long-lasting performance, especially in challenging environments.
- Externally Mounted Bearings: External mounting prolongs bearing lifespan and reduces maintenance requirements.
- Hexagonal Screens: This design increases turbulence, aiding in the separation of contamination, while improving drying effectiveness. Additionally, they can be customised to suit specific material requirements.
- Modular Design: The machine's modular design allows for easy integration into new or existing systems, enhancing versatility and adaptability.
- Optional Base Profile: Choose between low and high profile base / tank options to customise flow requirements. This enables cascading designs where appropriate to reduce the reliance on blower and augers to transport material between equipment.
- Anti-Vibration Pads: These heavy-duty pads reduce noise and vibration during operation, enhancing the machine's service life and minimising disturbances while reducing the impact on the installed environment
