Pigment Drying System

Swamiraj Engineering has designed and developed cost effective system for Pigment drying which saves Energy & Valuable Time for drying the pigment, thereby reducing the overall cost for drying.

In conventional Pigment drying system, the wet cake from Filter Press cake is first collected in Trolleys and then from trolleys it is fed into Trays. These Trays are then loaded in Tray Dryer. Depending upon moisture content these Dryers will take any time from 24 Hrs to 40 Hours for Drying. To overcome this energy intense Pigment drying system, Swamiraj engineering has developed a drying system with Noodling of Pigment.

The New Pigment Drying system consists of following Equipments –
Belt Conveyor l Pigment Noodle Maker l Tray Dryer l Control Panel for the system

Belt Conveyor

Ribbon Blenders consist of either U OR O shaped horizontal trough and a specially fabricated ribbon agitator. A ribbon agitator consists of a set of inner and outer helical agitators. The outer ribbon moves materials in one direction and the inner ribbon moves the materials in the opposite direction. They are widely used in chemical industries for rapid blending and mixing operations. We design the blenders up to 150m³ capacity.

Additionally we provide the Jacket or Limpet for Heating or cooling depending upon process requirement.

Pigment Noodle Extruder

The Pigment Noodle Extruder Machine is used to make Noodles from the wet cake received from filter press through the belt conveyor. The working principle of noodle extruder is wet cake getting pressed at a very high pressure in between oscillating shaft & extruder Plate, resulting in formation of noodles from bottom of extruder plate.

The oscillating shaft oscillates to & fro on extruder plate powered by Hydraulic Power pack to develop high ressure. The out Put Noodles are collected in Tray kept below the noodler. TheseTrays are manually transferred to Tray dryer. The volume of Tray is about 10 Liters. Two trays are placed below the Noodler. The pigment noodle extruders are available in varying capacities from 500 kgs/Hr to 1000Kgs/Hr of Wet Cake Noodles, and are available in SS304 Grade of material.

Tray Dryer

A tray Dryer is an enclosed insulated chamber in which trays are placed on top of each other in trolleys. Tray Dryer are extensively used for drying the pigment wet cake / Pigment Noodles. The material to be dried (Noodles) are placed in the trays. Heat transfer is by circulation of hot air by electric heaters or steam in radiator coils. Blower fans are installed inside to ensure proper circulation and transfer of heat. A control panel to control the temperature and other parameters is provided outside the dryer. These dryers are available in SS304 from inside for all contact Parts & External is in MS.
