Hot Air Tray Dryer

Hot air tray dryer adopts the forced circulation of hot air inside the chamber of the oven. In the drying chamber, hot air rises above and the hot air reaches the top of the chamber. Then, hot air is circulated back to the bottom by a fan installed inside the chamber and hence the optimum amount of heat is achieved gradually inside the oven. The drying is the process that the materials heated in the trays with hot air circle, the wet moisture takes out from material will be exhausted outside at the same time.

Hot air tray dryer Description

The hot air tray dryer adopts the forced circulation of hot air inside the chamber of the oven. In the drying chamber, hot air rises above and the hot air reaches the top of the chamber. Then, hot air is circulated back to the bottom by a fan installed inside the chamber and hence the optimum amount of heat is achieved gradually inside the oven. Drying is the process in which the materials are heated in the trays with a hot air circle, the wet moisture taken out from the material will be exhausted outside at the same time. the hot air tray dryer is also called hot air oven, hot air circulation oven.

CT-C series hot air tray dryer adopts noise elimination and thermal stable axial flow fan and automatic temperature control system. The entire circulation system is enclosed to make that the heat efficiency of the drying oven increases from 3-7% of the traditional drying oven to 35-40% of the present one. The highest heat efficiency can be up to 50%.

if the materials are heat-sensitive material and need a low-temperature vacuum tray dryer to process them. but if your materials are liquid and also high sugar and also need fast drying speed, please learn Hywell company's high efficient vacuum dryer.

Explosion proof type hot air tray dryer

If the dried material is slightly flammable and explosive, Hywell machinery company can design the hot air oven as an explosion-proof type. Regarding the explosion-proof hot air drying oven, it is necessary to use all the instruments and gauges related to the power supply to be explosion-proof. For example, explosion-proof temperature sensors, explosion-proof motors of fans, and control cabinets are either explosion-proof control cabinets or placed in safe areas; and control cables also need to be explosion-proof. In addition to the explosion-proof use of the above instruments; the explosion-proof hot air oven must have an explosion vent. When the pressure of the interior of the machine reaches a certain pressure level, the explosion vent will automatically rupture to prevent danger at the use site. Off course, the explosion-proof drying machine needs to use steam heating or hot water heating.

    Clean the trays, drying chamber, and air circulation system regularly to prevent the buildup of debris or contaminants.

  2. Inspections

    Conduct routine inspections of the heating system, fans, motors, and electrical connections to detect any signs of wear or damage.

  3. Lubrication

    Lubricate the moving parts of the dryer as recommended by the manufacturer to reduce friction and maintain smooth operation.

  4. Safety Measures

    Implement safety precautions, such as proper grounding, installation of safety guards, and regular calibration of temperature and pressure controls.

  5. Training and Documentation

    Provide training to operators on the safe operation and maintenance procedures of the hot air tray dryer. Keep records of maintenance activities and repairs for reference.


How to Use a Hot Air Tray Dryer Effectively

To achieve optimal results when using a hot air tray dryer, follow these guidelines:

  1. Prepare the Material

    Ensure that the material to be dried is properly prepared. This may involve slicing fruits or vegetables, grinding powders to a specific particle size, or arranging items evenly on the trays.

  2. Load the Trays

    Place the prepared material evenly on the trays, taking care not to overload them. Leave sufficient space between the items to allow for proper airflow.

  3. Set Drying Parameters

    Adjust the temperature, airflow rate, and drying time according to the requirements of the material being dried. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines or consult with experts if necessary.

  4. Monitor the Drying Process

    Regularly check the progress of drying by inspecting the moisture content and appearance of the material. Make adjustments to the drying parameters if needed.

  5. Rotate the Trays

    If your hot air tray dryer has a rotating feature, consider rotating the trays during the drying process. This helps ensure uniform drying across all trays and prevents uneven moisture distribution.

  6. Avoid Overdrying

    Be cautious not to overdry the material, as it can lead to loss of quality or undesirable changes in texture or taste. Regularly check the moisture content and remove the material from the dryer once the desired level is reached.

  7. Cool Down the Material

    After the drying process is complete, allow the material to cool down before packaging or further processing. This helps prevent moisture absorption from the surrounding environment.

  8. Clean the Dryer

    After each use, clean the trays, drying chamber, and air circulation system to remove any residues or contaminants. Follow proper cleaning procedures recommended by the manufacturer.


Troubleshooting Common Issues with Hot Air Tray Dryers

Sometimes, issues may arise during the operation of a hot air tray dryer. Here are some common problems and possible solutions:

  1. Uneven Drying

    If you notice uneven drying across the trays, check for blocked air vents or inadequate airflow. Ensure that the trays are loaded evenly and not overloaded.

  2. Insufficient Drying

    If the material is not drying as expected, verify that the temperature and airflow settings are appropriate for the specific material. Adjust them if necessary.

  3. Excessive Drying Time

    If the drying process takes longer than anticipated, inspect the heating system and check for any malfunctions or inadequate power supply. Also, confirm that the material thickness and quantity are within the dryer's capacity.

  4. Temperature Fluctuations

    If the temperature fluctuates excessively during operation, examine the temperature control system for any faults or sensor malfunctions. Calibrate or replace components as needed.

  5. Safety Issues

    If you encounter any safety concerns, such as overheating, electrical problems, or abnormal smells or noises, immediately turn off the dryer and seek professional assistance for inspection and repairs.
