CATALYST TRAY DRYER WITH TRAVERSING INFEED & PIN-WHEEL LEVELER

Our engineering group was required for the design of a system for transferring high temperature catalyst (500 deg C) from the discharge of a new tray dryer to a nearby bucket elevator. We also designed an infeed system to the tray dryer, which included providing means for a uniform feed over an 8’-0” width. This uniform feed was accomplished by using a hydraulic cylinder to power a traversing 18” wide belt conveyor across an adjustable arc or width. The tray dryer manufacturer was impressed with the working concept and advertises this infeed feature in its literature.
