Structural features of straw dryer
The straw dryer machine adopts a drum structure and can be heated by natural gas, steam, biomass pellets, coal, petroleum and other fuels. If the objective conditions permit, the boiler exhaust gas can also be used for heating, which can greatly reduce the operating cost of the straw dryer. As a weapon for straw drying, what are the advantages and features of straw dryers that deserve attention?
- High degree of mechanization: The straw dryer adopts automatic production method, which can realize automatic production from heating, feeding, feeding, drying, discharging and other processes. The drying operation of the entire pellet production line can be completed by only 1~2 people, which effectively controls the labor cost.
- The structure of the whole set of equipment is reasonable: the dryer equipment is easy to operate, stable in performance, can work continuously for 24 hours, has few failures and low maintenance cost.
- The straw dryer adopts a three-layer sleeve structure, which occupies a small area and is very convenient to install and disassemble. By flexibly adjusting the parameters of the equipment, the drying effect of the equipment can be effectively controlled, so that the straw can be dehydrated quickly to meet the drying requirements of the finished product.
- A special dispersing device is used inside the drum. After entering the drum, the straw quickly disperses and decomposes, effectively increasing the straw and hot air.
- In order to prevent the straw from sticking to the dead corners of the cylinder wall, the straw dryer is also equipped with different angles and styles of guide and lifting devices, which can continuously lift and disperse the straw, so that the surface of the straw is fully contacted with hot air, thereby Improve the heat and mass transfer effect of the straw dryer site.
- Sealing and heat insulation: For straw drum dryers, a good sealing system and heat insulation device are essential. The installation of the insulation layer can effectively reduce the heat loss during the operation of the straw dryer, thereby reducing energy consumption and cost. A good sealing system ensures that no dust escapes during the operation of the straw dryer, and the operating environment is good.
- The entire straw drying system is equipped with a complete waste gas treatment device. The exhaust gas discharged from the gas cylinder is sent to the dust collector, and after purification, it reaches the local environmental protection standard and is discharged with strong environmental protection.
- The dried product of straw rotary dryer has low moisture content, good uniformity and greatly reduced volume, which is convenient for transportation, storage or subsequent processing.
The stalk drying system consists of Feed Air lock, Screw Conveyor, Air Lock, conveying line as well as drying column and conveying through that moisture or moist material is transported within the presence of hot air to the cyclone. A strong low pressure centrifugal fan assures sufficient resistance time for complete removal of excess moisture. Material is discharged through cyclone by means of a discharge piece.

How to choose the heat source of straw dryer?
The straw dryer machine is a dehydration and drying equipment designed for high humidity and high viscosity straw straw. Obviously, it not only solves the problem of environmental pollution caused by straw, but also facilitates the recycling and utilization of straw by utilizing transportation and storage.
In the past, most straw dryers used coal as the main fuel, but with the country’s emphasis on environmental protection, the coal-fired heating method has gradually been eliminated, so how to correctly choose the heat source for drying straw?
The straw dryer equipment can choose a variety of heat sources, such as natural gas, steam, biomass fuel, boiler waste heat, electricity, solar energy, etc. When choosing a heat source for a straw dryer, the following issues should be considered first:
- Whether it is convenient to obtain the heat source, the user should try to take measures according to the local situation, and choose the heat source that is easier to obtain in the local area, so as to cut off the heat source to a large extent.
- Ensure that the price of the heat source is as low as possible, and the cost of heating accounts for a large part of the operating cost of the equipment. Only when the price of the heat source is low can the operating cost of the equipment be reduced.
- When selecting a heat source, local environmental protection requirements and standards should be considered.
For example, natural gas, biomass fuels and steam are all relatively clean fuels. Friends who have higher requirements can choose these heat sources, which are very convenient to operate. Not only do they reduce contamination from heating, they also keep materials clean and the surrounding work environment hygienic.
The user advantage is obvious, and the purchase is also very convenient. In addition, qualified customers can also choose boiler waste heat as a heat source, which not only effectively utilizes waste heat resources, but also greatly reduces equipment operating costs, saving users a lot of fuel cost investment. (Related product: wood chip dryer)
To sum up, when choosing a heat source for a straw dryer, the first thing to consider is the convenience of heat source procurement, try to adapt to local conditions, facilitate procurement, and keep the price as low as possible to ensure long-term stable heating of the equipment and reduce heat source costs. Customers who have high requirements on the quality of heat source can choose the heat source according to the quality of the material after drying to ensure that the needs of drying production are met.
How to clean the dust collector of straw dryer?
In the drum type straw drying system, the dust collector is an important part. Due to the long-term dehydration and drying operation of the dust collector, it will inevitably be polluted by dust in the process of purifying dust-laden gas. If it cannot be cleaned in time, it will greatly affect the dust removal effect of the equipment. So, what is the cleaning method of the drum type straw biomass dryer dust collector.
01 Use mechanical cleaning method
In the operation of the drum type straw dryer, the use of mechanical vibration to clean the dust collector is a relatively simple method. Generally speaking, the movement forms of mechanical cleaning are divided into three types: horizontal movement, vertical movement and rapid vibration. However, although this method of using vibration can achieve the effect of ash removal, it will cause great damage to the filter bag, and the ash removal effect is not particularly good.
02 The method of sonic cleaning
The so-called sound wave cleaning is to achieve the purpose of cleaning dust through sound wave vibration. In the process of powder processing and production, the method of sonic cleaning is often used for glass fiber filter bags, and the effect is very significant, which can better ensure that the glass fiber is not damaged during the cleaning process.
03 Pulse cleaning method
When the drum type straw dryer dehydrates and dries the material, the pulse cleaning method uses the high-speed air flow generated by the pulse to deform the filter bag and the shock wave, so as to achieve the effect of vibration dust reduction and cleaning. Pulse cleaning can generally be divided into jetting. (Related case: pellet production line in Thailand)
04 Use reverse airflow to clean the dust
The so-called countercurrent cleaning is to use countercurrent to blow the bag filter back, promote the deformation of the filter bag, and generate vibration at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of separating dust from the green island.
Generally speaking, this countercurrent cleaning method has a certain influence on the dust removal efficiency of the drum type straw dryer dust collector. We can improve by increasing the filter area, increasing the frequency of cleaning, or increasing the flow of cleaning air.
Prospects for dryers in biomass industry
—— RICHI MACHINERY ——
Biomass fuels are made from a variety of organic materials, including scrap lumber, forest debris, crops, manure, and even some municipal waste residues. Since organic waste is readily available, whether from construction and demolition or the paper-making process, biomass is a reliable source of renewable energy.
Possibly the oldest source of renewable energy on Earth, biomass produces cleaner energy that creates lower operating costs for power plants. Removing moisture from biomass makes for easier and more cost-effective storage and transportation. Biomass materials can be easily pelletized during this process, which creates higher energy density and results in a highly marketable product.
RICHI straw dryer machines are designed to increase the material’s energy value and produce a high-quality source of energy. Our straw drying systems produce a high-volume, low-moisture product that is easy to ship and store and add efficiency to your process, helping you to cut operating costs and produce a quality product for market.
Necessity of straw dryer
The demand for energy is constantly growing, and with that the need to find sustainable solutions. One of these solutions is bioenergy produced from biomass or biofuels. Biomass is renewable organic material derived from plants or animals and can be used as fuel directly or turned into liquid or gas, also known as biofuel.
There are several renewable biomass resources that is used to produce energy either as is or converted into another form of fuel, like pellets. The most commonly used feedstocks are wood and wood processing residues, forestry residues, energy crops, agricultural crop residues, algae, municipal waste, and wet waste (crop wastes, forest residues, purpose-grown grasses, woody energy crops, algae, industrial wastes, sorted municipal solid waste, urban wood waste, and food waste).
Biomass needs to be processed and dried to 85-95% dry solids in a straw dryer before feeding to pyrolysis, gasifier or torrefaction plants. (The straw drying system is also required for straw drying for feed processing.)
