Difference between revisions of "Cross Flow Dryers"

Cross Flow dryers combine the simple operation of a batch  system with the increased efficiency of a semi-continuous design. In  this type of dryer, the blower forces hot air through many small ducts,  or channels. Each tray slot has its own channel and receives a direct  flow of air. This reduces drying time, and allows processing of all the  trays at once.  To prevent overheating of the trays, a cross flow dryer uses sensors  to control the blower output. While this approach makes the design very  efficient, it also increases the complexity and cost of the dryer.
