A fly ash dryer is a rotary dryer specially designed to dry fly ash, a byproduct of burning pulverized coal in electric power generating plants. Fly ash contains extensive amounts of silicon dioxide (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and other minerals, which make it a potential raw material for various industries, such as cement, ceramic, and concrete. However, due to its high moisture content, it needs to be dried before being utilized. The fly ash dryer can use various drying media, such as gas, coal, biomass, etc. FUREIN Machinery supports the customization of multiple types of fly ash dryers and provides customized fly ash drying plant solutions.

Components of fly ash dryer

The fly ash dryer comprises a rotary body, an energy system, a driving device, a supporting device, etc.

The fly ash dryer is a rotary dryer specifically designed to dry fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion. It typically consists of a rotating drum or cylinder mounted on a set of rollers or bearings. The drum is usually lined with a heat-resistant material to prevent damage from the high temperatures generated during drying.

Inside the drum, there are multiple drying chambers. Inner blades are attached to the interior of the drum and are typically arranged in a spiral or helical pattern to ensure even drying.

The dryer is powered by a driving device, such as an electric motor or a gas engine, connected to the drum via a gearbox or chain drive. The supporting device, usually made up of rollers or bearings, helps keep the drum stable and prevents it from wobbling or vibrating during operation.

The rotary fly ash drying equipment uses a rotating cylinder to continuously carry the fly ash material and heat it through the inner wall of the cylinder. The hot air generated by the combustion device enters the dryer through the burner, and the materials are heated by convection and conduction. At the same time, under the inclined lifting plate and annular flange inside the cylinder, the fly ash is constantly lifted and sprinkled, increasing the contact area between the fly ash and hot air and improving the drying efficiency.

The wet fly ash material is continuously fed into the feeding device and is evenly distributed into the cylinder by the feeder. The cylinder is equipped with lifting boards that raise and drop the materials, making the material fully exchange heat with the hot air. The water vapor is removed through the discharge port, and the discharge screw conveyor discharges the dry fly ash. This process is carried out continuously until the fly ash is dried to the required moisture content.
