Energy Saving Continuous Dryers provide significant fuel reduction in grain drying. In the LAW dryer a part of the output thermal energy is recovered back into the drying process, leading to fuel savings of up to 20%.

 The LAW Economizer dryer is composed of:

• A wet grain buffer zone

• A superior drying zone

• A buffer zone separating the two drying zones

• A lower drying zone

• A cooling zone

Reasons for choosing a LAW energy-saving dryer

Energy saving:

• The drying column is composed of a number of compartments corresponding to the chosen evaporation flow

• The lower part of this column has multi-purpose compartments, which can be used either as drying or cooling compartments

• The air displacement in the dryer is ensured by two ventilation groups

• The first ventilation group, located at ground level, allows for the recycling of insufficiently saturated air at the end of drying, as well as cooling air

• The second ventilation group is located in the upper part of the humid air box and allows the extraction of saturated air

• Pneumatic valve systems allow the air flow through the grain to be regulated

• Medium pressure axial fans (air flow rate higher than centrifugal fan for the same electrical power)

• All fans are equipped with anti-dust cleaning filters

• Two temperature heating system depending on the height of the drying column

• The supply columns for the hot air and used air (recycling) are insulated with 50 mm thick glass wool

• High temperature air circuit insulation by double jacketed wall

Safety:

• Safe interior access to the heated air and used air (recycling) column by ladder in all 3 compartments

• Secure external access by stairway with intermediate resting platform and roof access platform

• Operating safety thanks to a tried and tested drive

• Air circuit safety: recycled air is injected into the hot air outside the combustion circuit
• Combustion safety with a pulsed, non-radiant air burner
