After half a year’s commissioning, it exceeded the expected results. It has realized the investment of the brick and tile enterprises in the first code burning, built the second code burning production line, and greatly improved the product quality. The dryer has obtained the national utility model patent, and has applied to accept the national invention patent. This R & D and design result will become one of the main drying forms of the industry’s secondary code firing process in the future, with a promising market prospect.
- [ Main technical parameters ]
According to the actual operation for more than half a year, the actual production data of the dryer is as follows:
1.1. Bearing capacity:
Each meter of single-layer solid brick can be coded 300 pieces, the upper and lower two layers can be coded 600 pieces, each wet brick is calculated as 3.1kg, the whole dryer chain plate can code 64800 wet bricks, and the weight of wet bricks is 200.88t. The weight of porous brick and hollow brick after folding standard brick is lower than that of solid brick, and there is no problem for the weight of dryer bearing tension. The design is considered as 300t, and the safety factor is large.
1.2 Production capacity:
When the hole rate of bearing porous brick is 21.6% (19 Ф 20mm holes), the daily production capacity is calculated to be about 200000 pieces, and the output of hollow brick or hollow block with hole rate more than 35% is more than 300000 standard bricks.
1.3 Water removal:
① 240 × 115 × 90mm porous brick, with hole rate of 21.6%, single wet brick weighs 4, 51kg, 3.86kg after drying, and single wet brick weighs 0.65kg; ② 240 × 115 × 150 mm hollow brick, with hole rate of 36%, single wet brick weighs 6.18kg, 5.09kg after drying, and single water removal of 1.09Kg; ③ standard solid brick, single wet brick weighs 3.1kg, 2.7kg after drying, and single dry brick weighs 0.4KG.
1.4. Moisture content:
The drying cycle of porous brick is 3.5-4.5 hours, and the moisture content of the body after drying; The drying cycle of hollow brick is 2-3 hours, and the moisture content of green body after drying is 4.17%; the drying cycle of solid brick is 5-6 hours, and the moisture content of green body after drying is 5.56%. The qualified rate of drying is 100%.
1.5. Dryer of Baoshen group brick factory:
External dimension LXWXH (m): 108*3.2*2.5
(See 1a and 1b for the schematic diagram of the dryer); the air supply temperature is 80 ℃ ~ 280 ℃; the traveling speed of the chain plate is 0.3 ~ 1.2m/min; the drying cycle is 2 ~ 6h, including 6h for solid bricks, 4 ~ 5h for porous bricks, 2 ~ 3H for hollow bricks or blocks with high void ratio, and the air volume for moisture discharge is less than 100,000 m3/h.

2. [ Main technical advantages ]
2.1 Advantages of energy saving and consumption reduction:
According to the actual situation of porous brick production, when the firing temperature is 900 ℃ ~ 950 ℃, the energy consumption per kilogram of finished products is about 260kcal, which is 16% lower than that before transformation, and the daily coal consumption is 4.16t. Annual coal saving is more than 1200t. The reduction of energy consumption directly reduces the emission of harmful components such as sulfur gas and smoke & dust,etc. The annual energy consumption cost is saved over 600,000 Chinese yuan(CNY) (500 yuan< CNY > per ton of standard coal).
2.2 Advantages of solid waste utilization:
Solid waste has two different characteristics: one is the possibility of high plasticity, high water content, high shrinkage and high sensitivity, such as river, lake mud, urban sludge, construction foundation excavation or drilling sludge, urban subway underground channel slag, oil well drilling slag mud and other brick making; the other is low plasticity, low viscosity and low crack resistance, such as slag, fly ash, chemical slag, building soil and so on. Although the former has a high plasticity index and is easy to extrude, these solid waste materials are easy to deform and crack when they are made by one-time code firing process. Although the latter has a low plasticity index and is extruded under high extrusion pressure and high vacuum degree, due to the dispersion of raw materials and the characteristics of not easy to polymerize, the use of one-time code firing will often cause fracturing and affect the firing yield. However, there are no pressure deformation and cracking problems when using the secondary code firing dryer, single layer or low layer drying. Fig. 2 the following picture shows the primary code firing kiln of fly ash in a factory. Due to the principle error of the manufacturer’s process route and code way, the 4-5 layers under the brick stack are all waste products due to fracturing and other reasons. This kind of raw material should be burnt in two times. This kind of dryer is more suitable for recycling all kinds of solid waste.

2.3 Advantages of brick billet body drying:
The dryer developed by Baoshen group can draw the residual heat from the cooling belt of the kiln through the pipeline and enters the dryer in multiple points. The clean hot air passes through the billet body from the bottom to the top, and there are multiple circulation fans, so as to ensure the consistency of section temperature, pressure and humidity of different sections of the dryer, ensure the uniform heating and free shrinkage around the body, and avoid Shrinkage stress crack due to drying. Due to the forming level and the change of raw materials, the speed of chain plate is changed accordingly at any time, and the drying cycle is adjusted to ensure that the qualified rate of drying is almost 100%.
2.4 Advantages of product Improvement:
With China national comprehensive ban policy concern the production of solid clay brick gradually strengthened, the dryer developed and manufactured by Baoshen group is more suitable for the production of hollow bricks and blocks with energy-saving and heat preservation performance requirements.. The production of wall brick with decoration function can achieve no "embossing" on the strip surface and meet the requirements of masonry clear wall. No matter the product specifications and models are transformed to meet the market demand, the technical parameters of the dryer are adjusted in a wide range, which will lay a solid foundation for the enterprises’ future development of high-quality , diversified and multi specification products.
2.5. Waste steam emission advantages:
The emission of air pollution in brick and tile industry, smoke and dust particles and other indicators are greatly affected by the conversion of oxygen content and the air volume of moisture discharge. The dryer developed by Baoshen group has sufficient hot air exchange and oxygen content of about 18%. The daily output of 200000 porous bricks is less than 10m3 / h. If 40m3 air volume is required for evaporation of 1kg water, the air volume is more than 300000 m3. According to the calculation of 200000 fast 240 × 115 × 90mm porous bricks (21.6%) per day, the air volume of the new dryer is less than 10m3 / h, only about 1 / 3 of the traditional air volume. It not only saves electricity, but also helps to reach the standard after pollutant emission conversion. Due to the high temperature of the hot air, it is beneficial to reduce the air volume, which is also consistent with the theoretical calculation.
2.6. Advantages of firing operation:
After drying, the moisture content of the green body has dropped below the critical moisture content, and the drying shrinkage of the green body has basically stopped. Only the firing shrinkage is considered after re coding kiln, but the firing shrinkage is small, which ensures the stability of the green stack during firing. Since more than half a year of production, there has been no collapse of the tunnel kiln. The embossing, black center and shrinkage stress crack are eliminated or reduced. As far as the number of kiln layers is concerned, as long as the range of firing temperature is allowed, there is no problem that the number of kiln layers is more than 18. The length of the tunnel kiln can be shortened properly with the increase of the amount of billets.
2.7 advantages of construction and installation:
Factory made, short construction period, good quality, avoiding wet construction of tunnel drying chamber. New type dryer, on-site construction, installation, commissioning, short construction cycle, to achieve early production.
2.8 Advantages of design adjustment:
Adjustable for different raw materials and products, regarding to the size of the product specification,the length ,height and drying cycle of the dryer can be adjusted respectively;
according to the porosity of the product, the chain plate speed can be adjusted to change the drying cycle. Small size, low void rate or solid brick products can be stacked in 1-3 layers so as to improve the output. According to the temperature and pressure of air supply, the air inlet position and hot air circulation system can be adjusted. Baoshen dryer is equipped with temperature, pressure, humidity and wind speed sensors to realize the air flow balance of the dryer, the upper and lower temperatures are the same, the humidity of each drying section is kept constant, and the technical parameters of the dryer are adjusted more simply and conveniently.
