subject: Patents Of Mesh Belt Dryer [print this page] Seed cotton on the wire mesh belt dryer is dryed and cleaned by a downflow of heated air. The normal separation and falling of trash from the belt is elevated by shaking the mass of seed cotton on the wire mesh belt. The belt is flexed to shake the seed cotton upon it. The belt is flexed by running the belt around "V" formed intermittent supports. The belt can be shaken by becoming bumped by gussets on rollers beneath the belt. The air is exhausted from beneath the belt by ducts extending across the chamber. The tops with the ducts are inclined planes to ensure the trash slides through the top in the duct and will not accumulate on the prime.
I declare as my creation:
one. The process of conditioning fibrous content by
a) loading the fibrous content on a relocating, air permeable belt, and
b) drawing treated air downward through the material and belt;
wherein the enhanced approach includes the next measures:
c) cleansing the material by
d) shaking the fibrous material by
e) flexing the belt.
two. The process as outlined in claim one wherein the flexing in the belt is accomplished by delivering a bump for the belt from underneath.
three. The process as defined in declare 1 whereby the flexing of the belt is completed by working the belt over an intermittent support.
4. A mesh belt dryer for drying fibrous materials having
a) an elongated drying chamber, having a fibrous content inlet end along with a fibrous material outlet stop,
b) remedy air inlets while in the prime of the chamber,
c) an air permeable belt in the chamber beneath the air inlets trained over a generate wheel with the outlet stop and above an adjustable wheel at the inlet stop,
d) the belt acquiring a best run plus a bottom operate, and
e) put in air outlets within the chamber underneath the belt;
whereby the improved construction of stated invested air shops contains in combination using the above,
f) exhaust ducts underneath the top operate with the belt extending throughout the chamber,
g) each and every duct acquiring a longitudinal air slot in the bottom of the duct, and
h) each duct acquiring a sloping top with adequate pitch to avoid trash from accumulating thereon.
five. The mesh belt dryer as defined in claim 4 more comprising:
i) "V" formed supports extending across the chamber at least partially supporting the top operate with the belt,
j) the "V" pointing towards the outlet finish,
k) the "V" shaped supports spaced other than one another to ensure that the belt is supported intermittently.
7. The mesh belt dryer as outlined in claim 4 further comprising:
i) idler rollers below the top operate in the belt, every roller possessing an axis, and each roller rotated about its axis through the prime operate,
j) every of said idler rollers having a gusset projecting from explained roller which supply a bump towards the leading run with the belt when rotated with the belt, thus shaking materials about the top belt.
eight. The belt dryer as outlined in claim seven more comprising:
k) stated belt is actually a wire mesh, and
l) a sprocket on each and every idler roller, each and every sprocket engaging the belt therefore rotating its idler roller.
9. The mesh belt dryer as defined in claim 4 even more comprising:
i) longitudinal edges of the top run in the belt are at least partially supported by a help flange on the aspect with the chamber and is confined by maintain down flanges about the aspect of the chamber.
