Designed to Achieve Uniform Drying and Minimal Power Consumption

Cyclone Furnace Dryer

This dryer comprises of several compartments with inverted “V” ports arranged in a manner to create a zigzag movement of the paddy. An elevator takes the wet paddy from the dumping pit and fills the boxes of the dryer. Hot air from the Steam Heat Exchanger is forcibly blown through a duct known as plenum. Due to the unique placement of the inverted “V” ports, the hot air moves from one row to another evaporating the moisture which finally escapes to the atmosphere. The rotor arrangement kept at the bottom of the vertical LSU dryer rotates at a pre-determined speed and moves the hot paddy from top to bottom of the dryer. When this paddy reaches the boot of the elevator, it is taken by the moving buckets of the elevator to the top box of the dryer. This way the paddy is continuously rotated from top to bottom and the hot air is passed perpendicular to the zigzag movement of the paddy. This results in complete evaporation of moisture and uniform drying of the paddy.
