Before Buying Parallelflow Asphalt Drum Mix Plant
October 17, 2013. Atlas Industries. Asphalt plants. Asphalt drum mix plants are of two types parallel flow and counter flow. In parallel flow type asphalt plants, the drying and mixing is done in same drum. In counter flow asphalt plants, drying and mixing is separate. A drum mix plant consists of major components like: cold aggregate feeder ...

What is counter flow? Why is it more efficient?
By contrast, counter flow is significantly more efficient and, depending on the flow rate and temperature, the heat transfer performance could be up to 15% more efficient, possibly enabling a smaller heat exchanger to be used, saving space and money! To ensure the correct product is always specified, Bowman offer computer aided product ...

Continuous flow dryer
The fluidized bed dryer consists of a drying chamber with an air speed of around 2.3 m/s, a bed thickness of 10 cm in which the grain is exposed to the drying air for 10-15 minutes. Capacities of commercial units range from 1-10 t/h. A diesel burner or a rice hull furnace is used as heat source and a system for re-cycling 50-70% of the drying ...

The drying process begins as the wet material is fed into one end of the rotary dryer. Lifters mounted on the inner surface of the drum lift the material and shower it down through the hot gas stream. As the drum rotates, the material moves towards the opposite end of the dryer, where it is finally discharged, now dry.

Another class of continuous flow dryer is the parallel flow dryer in which grain and hot air move in the same direction. In this class of dryers, grains and drying air move in the same direction in such a way that the hottest air is exposed to the wettest and coldest grain, resulting in grains absorbing the sensible heat of drying air as the latent heat for …
