CONTINUOUS DRYER
FOR CASHEW KERNELS
OLTREMARE cashew kernel continuous dryer
consists of one or more standard modules, each with a capacity of 250 Kg/h, assembled in series to attain the desired drying capacity. A final module is placed at the end of the drying
system, similar to the previous ones, but used to cool the kernels. A single module has the dimensions of the
drying room: 1.5x4 Mts., for total 6 m² and it consists of a kernel feeding hopper over a slotted belt allowing a hot air blast coming from the bottom of the dryer. The air is conveyed from the outside by an electric fan and sent to a thermal exchanger – which can be operated electrically or by steam or diathermal oil – and it is then conveyed through the product to be dried upstream the direction of the belt motion. The parameters on which are based the choices
of the regulation system are the following: .. Air temperature
.. Air speed y perio

dryer
.. Thermal exchanger tempera
regulation device .. Adjustment of air inlet and outlet into the
drying room .. Conveyor run/stop device
.. Feeding hopper shutter reg
An aspirator is placed on the dryer u
hood to ease the hot air flux. In case a cooling system is used, a hot air recycling device is also foreseen from the cooler to the first module of the dryer, which can be used as a pre-heater. The dryer is supplied with slotted belt cleaning
device to keep the mesh system constantly open and ease the air flux. unctioning data:
