Utilizes advanced drying technologies to rapidly and evenly decrease the moisture content of lentils, ensuring consistent and reliable drying outcomes.
Temperature and Humidity Control
Equipped with precise temperature and humidity control systems, it adjusts processing conditions according to the drying requirements of lentils, preventing over-drying or inadequate drying.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Friendliness
Designed with modern features to optimize energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact, employing efficient equipment structures and control systems.
Automated Operation
Incorporates automated control systems to simplify operation processes, reduce manual intervention, and enhance operational efficiency.
Durability and Stability
Constructed from durable materials and designed to maintain stable performance and reliability during extended operational periods.
Versatile Design
Offers flexibility to accommodate various types and quantities of lentils, providing customized solutions as needed.
Safety and Hygiene
Designed with safety and hygiene considerations in mind, facilitating easy cleaning and maintenance to ensure sanitary handling of lentils.
Main Components of lentil drying tower
Feeding System
Transports freshly harvested or processed lentils into the drying tower, typically using hoppers, conveyor belts, or other conveying mechanisms.
Drying Chamber
Core component where lentils undergo drying via hot air circulation. Often designed with multiple layers to enhance drying efficiency.
Heat Source System
Provides necessary heat for drying operations, typically utilizing coal, gas, electric heating, or other suitable heat sources.
Temperature and Humidity Control System
Monitors and adjusts temperature and humidity levels during the drying process to achieve optimal moisture content for lentils.
Dehumidification System
Eliminates moisture generated during drying to prevent its recirculation within the drying tower and compromise drying effectiveness.
Discharge System
Removes dried lentils from the drying tower, often equipped with automated unloading mechanisms for efficiency.
Control System
Manages and oversees the entire drying process through automated control systems, including temperature regulation, feeding, and unloading controls.
Support Structure and Enclosure
Provides structural support and stability to the drying tower, typically composed of robust steel materials and enclosed to protect equipment from external environmental factors.
Key Advantages of lentil drying tower
Enhanced Storage Stability
Reduces moisture content in lentils, minimizing risks of spoilage and pest infestation, thereby improving storage stability.
Preserved Quality and Shelf Life
Maintains the quality, flavor, and shelf life of lentils through precise temperature control and uniform drying processes.
Increased Processing Efficiency
Dried lentils are more suitable for subsequent processing steps, enhancing overall processing efficiency and final product quality.
Labor Cost Reduction
High levels of automation reduce reliance on manual labor, leading to cost savings in operational expenses.
Environmental Benefits
Modern drying towers are designed with energy-efficient features, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
Application of lentil 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
