What is the function of the lifting plate in the bentonite dryer?

1. Improve heat exchange efficiency: The lifting plate brings the bentonite to a certain height and then spreads it down to form a dispersed material curtain, which increases the contact area between the material and the hot air flow and improves the heat exchange efficiency.

2. Uniform material distribution: The lifting plate ensures that the material is evenly distributed in the bentonite dryer barrel, avoiding local overheating or insufficient drying, and ensuring consistent drying effects.

3. Break up materials: For materials that are sticky or easy to agglomerate, the lifting plate has the function of breaking up, preventing the bentonite from forming clumps during the drying process, and ensuring the heat and mass transfer effect inside the material particles.

4. Control the flow direction of the material: By adjusting the angle and shape of the lifting plate, the motion trajectory of the bentonite in the cylinder can be controlled, and the residence time and drying path of the bentonite can be optimized.

5. Improve drying efficiency: The reasonable design and layout of the lifting plate can significantly improve the drying efficiency and product quality of the bentonite dryer, and reduce energy consumption.
