New & Innovative Drying Concept Used in Refractories
One of the world's premier manufacturers of refractories recently acquired one of the latest technical innovations from Lippert GmbH & Co KG (Pressath, Germany), a newly developed drying system for very high temperatures. The inside of this stainless steel drying chamber is heated up to 400°C to achieve the desired residual humidity required for the large insulating refractory blocks.
Each single element of this system was conceived with a special view to the high temperatures required. The design features include a new and innovative type of insulating technology with 'scaled lining' and inlying ventilation and heating aggregates. Both features are said to guarantee outstanding energy savings. All movable parts of the dryer are located outside of the process room and process air range. This translates into low maintenance costs, optimum availability and long life, says Lippert.
The system has a hot air injection and distribution system for excellent air mixing in the process room, hence even and consistent heating-through of the materials without direct blasting, for tension-free and position-independent drying of large-sized refractory blocks even at high temperatures.
The dryer's control system offers maximum operator comfort thanks to an integrated PC with user guidance.
