Artificial Drying Chamber for drying extruder wet bricks, hollow blocks etc.

Area of each drying chamber: 7 meter X 12 meter X 5 meter Height (approx)

Capacity: 25,000 standard bricks per chamber depending on the quality of the raw materials.

Drying time: 24-36 hrs. depending on character of the raw materials.

Fuel for Hot Air Generator: preferably oil or gas in the their absence coal of minimum 5000 Kcal /Kg.

The number of drying chamber: depending on production. Normally for production of 15 million bricks annually the six drying chambers are recommended. The drying chambers could be build with cement, concrete, bricks fitted with specially insulated doors alternatively the entire drying chamber can be fabricated with steel depending on the local cost of civil construction.

Description of the drying chambers: Each drying chamber consists of steel racks for holding the steel laths/steel trays loaded with wet bricks / hollow blocks. The floor of the drying chambers are either cemented suitable for bearing the adequate load of the wet bricks on fork cars.

In case of loading and unloading of wet and dry bricks by electrically operating finger cars, railway lines of adequate capacity are laid. In between the two loading space of a drying chamber there is a space earmarked for conical or travelling fans which perform to circulate the hot air within the chambers. There are insulated steel / aluminum ducts through which hot air circulate. There are special draught fans to take out the wet air and recycle them for humidity drying of wet bricks.

To generated hot air for drying wet bricks/hollow blocks a Hot Air Generator is installed at the rear end of the dry chambers. The best fuel of hot air is gas or oil which being expensive our hot air generator is specially designed to use coal also as fuel.

The drying chambers will have to be installed under the shed covering an area of 12000 - 15000 sq. ft. depending on the planning of the factory and quality of the raw materials.
