Modernization of the 2SB-10 Type Drying Drum at the Turkestan Cotton Gin Plant and its Implementation
This article deals with the actual problem of increasing the reliability of the drying drum during operation, as well as improving the efficiency of the drying process of raw cotton as a result of modernization of the drying drum type 2SB-10, i.e. by installing the drum on the support-thrust station with an angle of inclination in the direction of loading within 1.5-20. The upgraded 2SB-10M type drying drum is superior to the existing 2SB-10 type in the following parameters: dry product performance is 1.43 times greater; fill factor is 1.96 times greater; residence time is 1.24 times longer; moisture removaling is 1.35 times greater; the temperature of the drying agent at the entrance to the drum is 1.3 times less; the speed of the drying agent is 1.43 times greater. The introduction of a support-thrust station provides increased reliability in the operation of the drying drum. The device and methods of drying raw cotton have patent protection.
