Main Components of coffee bean drying tower
Feeding System
Conveys freshly harvested or processed coffee beans into the drying tower, typically including a feeding hopper, conveyor belt, or other conveying devices.
Drying Chamber
The core part of the drying tower where coffee beans undergo hot air circulation drying. The drying chamber is designed with multiple layers to increase drying efficiency.
Heat Source System
Provides the necessary heat for drying, commonly using coal, gas, or electric heating.
Temperature and Humidity Control System
Monitors and regulates temperature and humidity during the drying process to ensure coffee beans are dried to the ideal moisture content.
Dehumidification System
Removes moisture generated during the drying process to prevent it from recirculating in the drying tower.
Discharge System
Removes dried coffee beans from the drying tower, typically equipped with an automatic unloading device.
Control System
Manages and monitors the entire drying process through an automated control system, including temperature and humidity regulation, feeding, and discharge control.
Support Structure and Enclosure
Provides stability and structural support for the drying tower, usually made of steel and enclosed to protect the equipment from external environmental influences.
Main Advantages of coffee bean drying tower
Improved Storage Stability
Reduces the moisture content of coffee beans, thereby minimizing risks of spoilage and pest infestation, enhancing storage stability.
Maintained Quality and Flavor
Precise temperature control and uniform drying processes help preserve the quality, aroma, and flavor of coffee beans.
Increased Processing Efficiency
Dried coffee beans are more suitable for further processing, such as roasting and grinding, enhancing processing efficiency and product quality.
Labor Cost Savings
High automation reduces the need for manual operations, lowering labor costs.
Environmental Benefits
Modern drying towers adopt energy-efficient and environmentally friendly designs, reducing energy consumption and emissions, thus being more environmentally friendly.
Application of coffee bean drying tower
The Grain dryer machine is suitable for efficiently drying all cereals,grains,beans,and seeds of all crops such as corn, wheat, rice, soybean, sorghum, rapeseed, cashew, barley, etc. It is suitable for all kinds of farms.
Working Principle
The paddy crops are input from the top of the tower through the bucket elevator, and through the distribution device to ensure that the equipment is always in a full load state during operation.
The induced draft fan introduces the hot air into the inside of the tower body, and the rice crops are combined with the bottomless V-shaped baffles that are turned inward, and the multi-row V-shaped baffles are arranged staggered for processing, so that the rice crops can be mixed with the hot air, and the water vapor generated is discharged from the dryer exhaust system
