Sacmi Unveils Latest Generation of Tile Dryers
The range of tile vertical dryers designed and built by Sacmi (Imola, BO, Italy) has just been extended by the arrival of the EVA784 and EVA984, the latest additions to the series which features low energy consumption, versatility, user friendliness and straightforward maintenance.
Ideal for use with the very latest hydraulic presses which feature an inter-column clearance of 2450mm, the new dryers minimise in-tile residual moisture content while maximising unfired bending strength and uniformity of temperature - all thanks, says Sacmi, to precision mechanics.
The key technical innovations on the new models are:
- The main drying section consists of two independent zones featuring two powerful fans and two air-flow burners (in compliance with UNI EN 746) arranged symmetrically so as to balance hot air introduction along the through-dryer tile route.
- The lower section of the machine is characterised by a very important third zone; this is the stabilisation zone, first designed and developed by Sacmi. This features a further fan that directs a mix of hot and cold air over outgoing tiles so as to produce maximum bending strength and uniformity of temperature.
- Special distribution gratings are fitted along the internal channels of the dryer; these are specifically sized to ensure uniform flow of hot air parallel to the tiles on each level.
- Specially designed basket support arms eliminate attrition on the drive chain guides; this allows a less powerful motor to be installed.
- Inverter-controlled chain drive and a gearmotor with very little play ensure that basket handling and positioning are extremely precise.
