What are the common malt drying equipment and what are their characteristics?
The common malt drying equipment includes horizontal single-layer high-efficiency drying furnace, horizontal double-layer high-efficiency drying furnace, germination drying dual-purpose box and other equipment. Their characteristics are described below.
(1) The horizontal single-layer high-efficiency drying furnace has only one drying bed. The bottom of the bed is like a grate to carry green malt. Some drying beds can be turned over for discharging.
The drying bed is equipped with ventilation device, fresh air, circulating air and waste gas channel and heating device.
(2) Horizontal double-layer high-efficiency drying furnace this kind of drying equipment is to install the two-layer horizontal drying bed up and down (Fig. 2-3), only has a set of heating and ventilation device at the bottom. Its biggest advantage is that it can make full use of waste heat. The feeding time difference between the two drying beds was 1 / 2 cycle. The first drying bed entered the second drying bed after 12 h withering stage, while the first drying bed was fed again. The malt in the second layer of drying bed enters the drying and baking stage, and the air temperature after passing through the wheat layer is higher, so it can be introduced into the material on the first layer of drying bed as heating air, and the hot air is reused, so part of the waste heat is recovered and energy is saved.
(3) The basic structure of germinating drying box is the same as germinating box, but a set of drying device is added. Its biggest advantage is that the two processes of germinating and drying are completed in the same equipment, and the separate drying equipment is omitted.
