Abstract

This drying/carbonizing device is formed from providing within a drying chamber: a plurality of tubes, to one end of which an inlet is formed and to the other end of which an outlet is formed, of which the upper and lower ends are interconnected to each other to form a single chain, and which have rotatable screw conveyers therewithin that are disposed in a manner so that the outward paths and return paths vertically alternate; horizontal tubes that are attached at appropriate intervals along the lengthwise direction of the plurality of tubes and that are horizontal discharge tubes connected to the plurality of tubes; vertical tubes that are connected to the ends of the horizontal tubes and that are provided in the vertical direction; and a bottom collection tube that is provided horizontally to the bottom, links the ends of the vertical tubes, and removes gas.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A drying/carbonizing device in which tubular bodies, each incorporating a screw conveyer, are vertically arranged in multiple tiers so as to laterally extend in a drying chamber, the tubular bodies communicate with one another in such a manner that end portions on one side and on the other side of vertically adjacent tubular bodies are connected alternately to form a single body as a whole, the screw conveyers are disposed such that forward paths and backward paths are vertically alternate, a feed port is provided in one of the tubular bodies that is located at one end so as to communicate with outside the drying chamber, and a discharge port is provided in one of the tubular bodies that is located at the other end so as to communicate with outside the drying chamber, the device characterized by comprising:

horizontal exhaust tubes attached, as lateral drawing tubes, to upper halves of the tubular bodies of the screw conveyers at an appropriate interval in a length direction of the tubular bodies;
vertical drawing tubes connected to ends of the horizontal exhaust tubes;
and
a laterally extending lower collective tube which is connected to ends of the vertical drawing tubes and from which gas is taken out as fuel.

tubular bodies communicating with one another, in such a manner that end portions on one side and on the other side of vertically adjacent tubular bodies are connected alternately, to form a single body as a whole and respectively including rotatable screw conveyers disposed such that forward paths and backward paths are vertically alternate;
a feed port provided in one of the tubular bodies that is located at one end;
a discharge port provided in one of the tubular bodies that is located at the other end;
lateral drawing tubes which are horizontal exhaust tubes attached and connected to the tubular bodies at an appropriate interval in a length direction of the tubular bodies;
vertical drawing tubes connected to ends of the lateral drawing tubes so as to vertically extend;
and
a lower collective tube which is connected to ends of the vertical drawing tubes and extend laterally at a portion below the tubular bodies and from which gas is taken out.
