Dryingtechnique

Since 1996 Dorset manufactures dryingsystems for the agricultural sector. Armed with this experience and knowledge Dorset offers overall concepts for the drying of chicken manure, substrates from biogasplants and sewage sludge. Dorset also has experience with the drying of maize, sawdust and wood chips.

 

The drying process:

 

1. Heat Source: The drying capacity is determined mainly by the heat source available. At poulty farms the stable air of around 20 degrees will be used. This air is sufficient to dry the manure produced. But the higher the temperature and the lower the humidity and the better it can be dried. When drying is used at biogas plants the residual heat from the generators will be utilised.

2. Dryer: the Dorset dryers are banddryers. The bands are made of interconnected perforated steel plates. These plates are galvanized and powder coated to provide adequate protection against aggressive products. Fans draw the air through the plates and dry the materials lying on the plates.

3. Air ducts: Dorset uses air ducts to lead the air from the heat source to the dryer and from the dryer to outside. These ducts are made of sandwich-panels. The advantage of these panels is that they provide enough room for a quiet airflow to minimize dust formation.

 

The most common applications of these installation include:
utilising residual heat at biogas plants
the drying of poultry manure
