System Operation

The wet cake feeder will continuously meter wet cake material into the PCX dryer. Upon entry into the dryer, a specially designed dispersion plate ensures intimate contact with the hot air stream being supplied from the gas burner. The dispersed and dried product is then pneumatically conveyed to the PCX Cyclone and Baghouse Filter receiver where the product is collected and discharged through rotary airlocks. The exhaust fan draws the system air and dried product through the PCX and into a cyclone collector followed by baghouse.
