Drying and Cooling after Vibratory Finishing

A customer produces stamped steel parts in a continuous process, which are dried at 100° C after vibratory finishing.

Problem:

_ excessively high drying temperature
_ no immediate further processing possible
_ excessively high energy costs

Solution: Continuous Dryer with Cooling Function

_ max. 800 kg of steel parts are fed directly onto the dryer’s conveyor belt after cleaning
_ Length of the drying zone in the tunnel: 2 m
_ Complete and homogeneous drying at 70° C
_ Subsequent cooling to approx. 30° C
_ Use of an HVAC system for cooling
_ Belt speed: 0.58 m/min.
_ Time for drying and cooling: 7 min.
_ Nominal power of the entire system in production operation: approx. 25 kW
