Solve the problem of low heat transfer：
Due to the high temperature drying of some products in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries, the product will be denatured, the organism loses its activity, etc., the operating conditions during the drying operation must be changed, so that the temperature rise of the material is not high and the water is removed, so vacuum drying is used. In some petrochemical drying operations, because the volatile medium is organic vapor, the danger of mixing with air and burning and explosion, in order to ensure safety, is not air into the drying system and vacuum drying.
Most of the drying techniques currently used are batch drying, such as vacuum kneading dryers, double cone dryers, vacuum ovens, and the like. The problems are small processing volume, low drying efficiency, high energy consumption, high labor intensity, poor working conditions and poor working environment. When the material to be dried is in the form of a paste, the viscosity of the material may change with the change of the moisture content in the drying process, and an undesired phenomenon such as sticking and winding may occur in a certain moisture content stage. The power is increased, the heat transfer efficiency is lowered, and the drying operation is smoothly performed. For liquid drying due to sticking walls, low heat transfer efficiency, etc., it is almost impossible to use current vacuum drying equipment. Vacuum drying is currently not possible for continuous operation, and in particular, an important reason is the problem of sealing the inlet and outlet at the time of continuous feeding and continuous discharging.
Despite the above difficulties, the benefits of vacuum drying are very obvious. The company is currently conducting research on the technical scheme of continuous vacuum drying equipment, in order to develop a continuous vacuum drying device with satisfactory results and mature technology.

5. Overall, through the combination of the feeding system, the discharging system, the vacuum dedusting system and the main body of the dryer, and the automatic control system, it becomes a continuous vacuum drying device, which realizes continuous vacuum drying of materials and treatment. Large amount of purpose;
6. During operation, the hot shaft is heated and dried by agitation, the material is added into the drying cylinder, the heat source steam or heat transfer oil is introduced into the hollow shaft, and the fan-shaped hollow blades on the hollow shaft are introduced into the hollow shaft, and the hot wall and the drying cylinder are inside. The material is in full contact with heat transfer. The vaporized medium in the material is heated and the vaporized phase changes to steam. Under different vacuum conditions, the vaporization phase transition temperature is different. Different vacuum conditions can be determined according to the specific material. With the rotation of the hollow shaft and the fan shape The stirring action of the blade, the material in the drying cylinder continuously moves, so that the heat exchange surfaces of the hollow shaft and the fan-shaped blade and the material are continuously updated, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the hollow shaft and the fan-shaped blade and the material, thereby improving the drying barrel The rate of vaporization phase change of the volatile medium in the material in the body. The continuous drying of the materials added in the drying cylinder is realized;
7. The vacuum state of the drying process is maintained, and continuous vacuum drying is realized, that is, the materials to be dried are continuously added to the dryer, and the dry materials in the dryer are continuously discharged, and the volatile medium in the dryer is continuously heated and vaporized. The phase changes to steam and the vacuum source of the process system is continuously pumped out. The purpose is achieved by realizing the dynamic sealing of the feed port of the material to be dried, the dynamic sealing of the discharge port of the dry material, and the extraction of the vapor of the volatilized medium;
8. Dynamic sealing process of the feed port of the dry material: a hopper with a rotary lock valve is installed above the cylinder of the dryer, and the dry material is installed in the hopper, and is continuously added to the dryer through the rotary lock valve. The dry material in the hopper has a certain sealing effect on the outside air, and the rotary lock valve also seals the outside air. The sealing form of the feed port is a rotary lock valve and a material double composite seal. Continuous feeding, insulation air entering the dryer from the inlet;

The dynamic sealing process of the dry material discharge port: two dry material discharge ports are opened on the side of the dryer cylinder, which can be opened on the left and right sides of the dryer cylinder, or can be opened in the dryer cylinder On the same side, the left side buffer tank and the right side buffer tank are respectively connected under the left and right two dry material discharge ports. The left side of the buffer tank is equipped with a left inlet valve, the lower side is equipped with a left outlet valve, the right side of the buffer tank is equipped with a right inlet valve, and the lower side is equipped with a right outlet valve; four automatic control valves are executed by an automatic control system A certain logical relationship, after the left inlet valve and the right outlet valve are closed, the left outlet valve and the right inlet valve are opened, at this time, the left buffer tank is discharged, and the right buffer tank is fed. After the right inlet valve and the left outlet valve are closed, the right outlet valve and the left inlet valve are opened, at which time the right buffer tank is discharged, and the left buffer tank is fed; in any state, the dryer The two discharge ports of the dry material have a discharge state, and the continuous discharge of the dry material is realized.
