with air insulation prevents heat loss and reduces the noise emission level. The dryer ends are

sealed with a special labyrinth arrangement.

The dryer is equipped with two (2) trunnion rings fabricated in wear resistant material. These are

fitted with spring steel plates to allow a smooth operation. The dryer is driven by chain via a geared

motor and mounted on four (4) support rollers with two (2) thrust rollers to prevent excess

longitudinal movement.

2.3 BENNINGHOVEN TYPE RAX-JET 3 TURBO G-O “S” OIL AND NATURAL GAS COMBI

BURNER

2.3.1 Main Explanations

The burner is a compact unit of mono bloc design. The burner unit is mounted on steel rails which

allows the whole unit to slide back for inspection of the burner and dryer drum. In line with the

dryer, the air flow is generated by an internal radial-axial fan to ensure best combustion.

2.3.2 Main Technical Details

Exact proportions of fuel and combustion air are achieved by a servo motor arrangement. The servo

motor activates, via control levers, the oil metering valve and a multi wing air intake arrangement.

The oil is injected by pump pressure into smallest particles to give efficient and complete

combustion.

Burner head is fabricated out of heat resistant steel.The control panel incorporates all monitoring

and control equipment together with indicators for control of burner capacity. The temperature is

measured in the dryer discharge chute by a quick reacting FE-Constantan temperature sensor.

Optimum noise level reduction is achieved by a silencer arrangement fitted to the rear end of the

burner.

Energy Table for The Design of The Burner

Heavy-oil (No: 4) : Hu = 9.700 kcal/kg (40.600 kJ/kg)

Heavy-oil (No: 6) : Hu = 9.200 kcal/kg (38.500 kJ/kg)

Diesel oil : Hu = 10.200 kcal/kg (42.700 kJ/kg)

Naturel gas : Hu= 7.600 kcal/m³ (31.800 kJ/m³)

2.3.3 Burner Head

The burner head is made of heat resistant material and not only influences the flame shape but also

effects intensive mixing of natural gas and combustion air. The natural gas is ignited in the burner

head. This ensures a clean, soot free flame of high efficiency.

2.3.4 Burner Blower

The burner blower is an axial fan fitted with an internal hub-motor of a special enclosed, watertight,

and dust-proof design. In accordance with the characteristic of the axial fan, the air flow is highly

turbulent ensuring optimum mixing with the natural gas atomized by jet system and thus ensures

maximum combustion economy.

2.3.5 Fuel Feed System

There is an equipment for using diesel-oil and natural gas. And also it is prepared for using

heavy-oil. If there is need to use preheater in the future it can be bought by paying its money.

Gas Supply Manifold

The manifold consists of all necessary safety and control valves eccluding gas pressure regulator

after the main shutoff cock of the gas main.

2.3.6 Electronic Output Control

A thermostat senses the temperature of the material at the dryer discharge and passes the value to

the controller which compares the required temperature with the actual temperature at the drum

discharge chute and regulates the burner fuel/air setting. The controller incorporates adjustable

sense and pause functions and achieves constant output control with adequate accuracy.

2.3.7 Silencer

The silencer is a separate unit which is connected to the burner end. This special designed

construction reduces the noise level to a certain minimum. The silencer, like the burner, is

positioned on a track to allow the unit to slide backwards.

4.10 "Online Batcher 3000" Computer Control System

The Online Batcher replaces the once standard control panel complete with keys, lights and

indicators, in that all operating elements are represented visually on the screen.

All functions are controlled by touching the screen, whereby additional security of the computer

lock largely prevents operating errors.

Likewise, the cold feed is controlled by the Online Batcher. After entry of the recipe and preselection

of quantity, the drying process is initiated. All components that are involved in the drying

process are started automatically, the order is processed and finally the drying process is properly

completed.

The Online Batcher also provides the option of manual operation. Each group of components can be

operated automatically or manually. Each drive or door is assigned a button for manual operation.

The computer system for the mixing process controls (according to recipe and order) the weighing,

the mixing process and the charging of the mixed material storage silo. Statistics of mixing process

are maintained.
