Development trend of drying equipment

The future development of dryers will involve in-depth research on drying mechanisms and material drying characteristics, mastering the optimal operating conditions for different materials, and developing and improving dryers; In addition, large-scale, high strength, high economy, and improved adaptability to raw materials and product quality are the basic trends in the development of dryers; At the same time, further research and development will be carried out on new types of high-efficiency and tailored dryers, such as combination dryers, microwave dryers, and far-infrared dryers.
The development of dryers also requires attention to energy conservation and comprehensive energy utilization, such as using various combined heating methods, transplanting heat pump and heat pipe technology, and developing solar powered dryers; We also need to develop automatic control technology for dryers to ensure the realization of optimal operating conditions; In addition, with the increasing emphasis on environmental protection by humans, improving the environmental protection measures of dryers to reduce the leakage of dust and exhaust gases will also be a direction that requires in-depth research.
The increasing technological content of drying equipment in China is producing gratifying results. For a long time, the domestic drying equipment industry has been characterized by small production scale, low entry threshold, and low overall technical content. Enterprises with an annual sales revenue of less than 5 million yuan account for over 60% of the industry, while manufacturers with an annual sales revenue of over 10 million yuan only account for 5% to 8%. The product grade is generally low and similar. But now, high-tech products are giving rise to the emergence of backbone enterprises in the drying equipment manufacturing industry. This is likely a signal for the field to break away from vicious price competition, change the current situation of small and dispersed enterprises, and carry out natural industry integration. Through technological competition, taking the path of strong alliance and survival of the fittest, cultivating leading enterprises with industry strength may be just around the corner.
China has put forward many quality requirements for dryers, not only for manufacturers but also for manufacturers of various components. The country has also put forward the same measures for them. With this, we will see more changes in 2013 and the following years.
Solar drying equipment is a new development direction with low investment, obvious benefits, and is more environmentally friendly and easy to control. It can be widely used in various industries of low-temperature drying.
