The drier consists of a cabinet containing a stack of 15 trays, which hold the material to be dried. The cabinet is mounted on a base and has a lifting mechanism, (to lower/ lift the trays). This mechanism is mounted on a frame over the drying cabinet.
Semi-continuous operation is achieved by the use of the lifting mechanism. The mechanism allows a tray of dried product to be removed and replaced by one with fresh material, without interruption of the drying process. The drier is made from mild steel angle, plywood, steel plate and bar, and a small amount of hardwood for bearings. The trays are made of hardwood with nylon mesh bases and mild steel angle reinforcers.
In this manual the drier has been divided into seven main areas. These are:
- The base
- The upper frame
- The drying cabinet
- The lifting mechanism
- The trays
- The cladding
- The drying cabinet doors
