The mechanism of YKD series, high speed paddle dryer

The paddle rotating at high speed increases the surface of the drying material by crushing it, to speed up drying(30-60 seconds).
This machine can dry materials without raising its temperature, the deterioration and discoloration of drying materials can be minimum.

At the same time that materials are injected into the drying kiln from the supply device, 300~450℃ of hot air blows from a hot air generating furnace. This hot air, together with stirring by high speed rotating paddles, the moisture contents of material can be decreased from 80% to 8%.
Dried materials are to be separated through a cyclone and a rotary valve, and sent to next process.
A part of the exhausted air will be returned to the hot air generating furnace, and reused as a heated steam by heating. By using this heat recollection system, its running cost can be reduced by 10-20 %.

Features of YKD series, high speed paddle dryer

• It is possible to dry Okara(soybean curd refuse) and Tohu refuse, mixed together.
  Viscous materials can be dried by mixing with dried products.
  Since two different materials are supplied separately, then be mixed together inside drying kiln, it is easy to operate.
• Various kinds of fuels can be used for this drying machine. Not only LNG, LPG, but also Kerosene, fuel oil A, or waste oil can be used to generate hot air by either oven type heating or indirect heating.
• We, Yasujima have full line-up of dryers, so that we can support various production quantities of customers.
• A deodorizing furnace can be attached when treating a material with an odor, such as sludge or cattle excrement, and bag filters, scrubbers can be installed for a material with soot dusts.

Materials listed in “main usage” above is the material with many past results. If you hope to dry something new, please contact our sales staff.

Can you propose the detailed running cost?

Yes. If we can have information such as treatment capacity, the initial water contents of materials, the target water contents of products, initial material temperature, and fuel cost, etc., our sales staff will submit you the detailed running cost.

Can Yasujima make trial dried products in order to see what the finished condition of materials is like?

We have its small size test machine in our research laboratory and recommend that the customers considering to introduce this machine should perform pre-test.
During the trial, the customer can directly check the finished condition of materials, and obtained test data can be used as a base for design and manufacture of the real machine.

How maintenance or exchange of parts should be done?

We recommend performing maintenance once a year. Other than consumables like a bearing, or an oil seal, there are no parts the customer need to purchase periodically.
