Seed cotton on a wire mesh belt dryer is dryed and cleaned by a downflow of heated air. The natural separation and falling of trash from the belt is increased by shaking the mass of seed cotton upon the wire mesh belt. The belt is flexed to shake the seed cotton upon it. The belt is flexed by running the belt over "V" shaped intermittent supports. The belt is also shaken by being bumped by gussets on rollers beneath the belt. The air is exhausted from beneath the belt by ducts extending across the chamber. The tops of the ducts are inclined planes so that the trash slides from the top of the duct and does not accumulate on the top.
I claim as my invention:
1. The process of conditioning fibrous material by
a) loading the fibrous material on a moving, air permeable belt, and
b) drawing treated air downward through the material and belt;
wherein the improved method comprises the following steps:
c) cleaning the material by
d) shaking the fibrous material by
e) flexing the belt.
2. The process as defined in claim 1 wherein the flexing of the belt is accomplished by delivering a bump to the belt from below.
3. The process as defined in claim 1 wherein the flexing of the belt is accomplished by running the belt over an intermittent support.
4. A mesh belt dryer for drying fibrous material having
a) an elongated drying chamber, having a fibrous material inlet end and a fibrous material outlet end,
b) treatment air inlets in the top of the chamber,
c) an air permeable belt in the chamber below the air inlets trained over a drive wheel at the outlet end and over an adjustable wheel at the inlet end,
d) the belt having a top run and a bottom run, and
e) spent air outlets in the chamber below the belt;
wherein the improved structure of said spent air outlets comprises in combination with the above,
f) exhaust ducts below the top run of the belt extending across the chamber,
g) each duct having a longitudinal air slot in the bottom of the duct, and
h) each duct having a sloping top with sufficient pitch to prevent trash from accumulating thereon.
5. The mesh belt dryer as defined in claim 4 further comprising:
i) "V" shaped supports extending across the chamber at least partially supporting the top run of the belt,
j) the "V" pointing toward the outlet end,
k) the "V" shaped supports spaced apart from each other so that the belt is supported intermittently.
6. The belt dryer as defined in claim 4 wherein
i) said belt is a wire mesh.
7. The mesh belt dryer as defined in claim 4 further comprising:
i) idler rollers below the top run of the belt, each roller having an axis, and each roller rotated about its axis by the top run,
j) each of said idler rollers having a gusset projecting from said roller which deliver a bump to the top run of the belt when rotated by the belt, thereby shaking material on the top belt.
8. The belt dryer as defined in claim 7 further comprising:
k) said belt is a wire mesh, and
l) a sprocket on each idler roller, each sprocket engaging the belt therefore rotating its idler roller.
9. The mesh belt dryer as defined in claim 4 further comprising:
i) longitudinal edges of the top run of the belt are at least partially supported by a support flange on a side of the chamber and is confined by hold down flanges on the side of the chamber.
