Product catalog summary
Overview of Perry Belt Drier
The Perry Belt Drier is designed for drying non-flowing products like biomass, anaerobic digestate, grass, and seeds. It operates at lower temperatures than traditional rotary drum driers, reducing fire risks and enabling heat recovery.

Key Features
  • Fine mesh drying belt, optionally in stainless steel.
  • Multiple heat sources: biomass, steam, oil, kerosene, or gas.
  • PLC touch screen panel with internet connectivity for remote operation.
  • Modular construction with widths up to 3m and lengths from 8.5m to 65m.
  • Automatic belt cleaning and tracking systems.

General Design
The drier includes a rotary brush for belt cleaning and automatic control based on air temperature. It is designed without chains or slats to minimize residue buildup and bacterial growth, ensuring low wear and maintenance costs.

Heat Source Options
  • Heat exchangers for biomass or steam sources.
  • Direct or indirect fired burners for oil or gas.

Belt Information
The drier uses a polymer woven belt with anti-static properties and high air permeability, suitable for various granular products.

PLC Control Panel
The PLC panel allows for remote monitoring and control, data logging, and diagnostics, with internet connectivity for status reports and remote access.

Principle of Operation
Cold air is heated through exchangers and drawn through the product bed for efficient drying.

Options
  • Infeed options: screw and belt feeders, buffer hoppers, and gravity feed systems.
  • Belt cleaning options: air knife or water jet systems.
  • Hot air recirculation to reduce energy consumption.
  • Fire detection and suppression systems for safety.
  • Stacked driers for space-efficient operations.

Insulated Enclosure
The drier can be supplied with or without an enclosure, allowing hot air to be directed over divisions and through the product bed. The modular design supports future extensions, with various color options available.

Technical Specifications
  • Woodchip Drier Models: Models range from BD1510 to BD3050, with varying belt widths, lengths, and capacities. Thermal energy requirements are specified, with potential savings from hot air recirculation.
  • Wood Shavings Drier Models: Similar specifications to woodchip driers, adjusted for different material properties.
  • Grass Drier Models: Specifications for fresh cut and wilted grass, detailing throughput and energy requirements.
  • Waste Drier Models: Specifications for SRF and RDF materials, with details on throughput and energy efficiency.

General Design Modular galvanised steel construction available in 1.5m, 2.2m and 3m widths. The drier can be increased in length in 1m increments from 8.5m to 65m (including drive and tail). The overall height of the drier is dependent on the heat source chosen. • There is a rotary brush to clean the belt as standard - for usual biomass and granular products this is satisfactory. Every piece of the belt is cleaned once per revolution automatically. • Automatic control as standard is by measuring air temperature on the same principle as the grain drier. The way this works is to measure the air...

General Design • The Perry Belt Drier has an automatic belt tracking device which works using a sensor at the side of the belt, which senses if the belt travels to one side. If the sensor is touched an electric actuator changes the angle of the tracking roller which sends the belt across to the opposite side. • The Perry belt drier does not have chains or slats, keeping it very clean. In driers with slats and chains, products such as grass or herbs will leave residue. This will decompose and the bacterial count inside the drier will increase. In the Perry belt drier there is less chance of damage...

Heat Source Options Heat Exchangers • Heat exchangers are commonly used for applications where a biomass heat source is available such as woodchip boilers to produce hot water, or if there is a steam heat source available. The drier can be tailored to accept existing heat exchangers if required. If a separate heat source is required a direct fired furnace with diesel, kerosene, LPG or natural gas burner can be used. Alternatively a heat exchanger with the same burner can be used for indirect heating if required. Belt Information Fitted with a universal belt, the Perry belt drier is suitable for...

Options Infeed Options • Screw feeder - a feeding hopper that can be used as a buffer hopper to help feed the product evenly over the belt. This feeding hopper will have a number of screw feeders dependant on the width of drier chosen. The hopper can be fed via dump loading, elevators, conveyors or screw conveyors. • Belt feeder - this can be used singularly or in a row of multiple feeders. The belt feeder ensures a level product bed going into the drier & acts as a buffer hopper. • 2m buffer hopper - a 2m tall buffer hopper can be added to screw feeders to ensure the drier is fed at a steady...
