Cooling Process

LANE Drum Cooler is engineered to optimize the cooling process, ensuring maximum efficiency and consistent product quality:

1. Granule Feeding: The process begins with the feeding of hot, dried granules into the rotating drum. These granules typically come directly from a rotary drum dryer and require cooling to stabilize their properties.
2. Drum Rotation and Air Flow: As the drum rotates, the granules are lifted and dropped by internal flights (lifting plates) within the drum. This motion ensures that the granules are continuously exposed to the cooling air, which flows through the drum either in a concurrent or counter-current direction.
3. Heat Exchange: The cooling air absorbs heat from the hot granules as they tumble and mix within the drum. The continuous rotation of the drum ensures that all granules are evenly cooled, preventing hotspots or uneven cooling. The heated air is then vented out of the drum, and the cooling process continues until the granules reach the desired temperature.
4. Discharge and Final Product: Once the granules have been adequately cooled, they are discharged from the drum for packaging, storage, or further processing. The cooled granules are stable, with reduced moisture content, ensuring long-term storage without degradation.

Advantages

LANE Drum Cooler offers several key advantages that make it an excellent choice for fertilizer production:

• Efficient Cooling: The rotary drum design ensures that granules are cooled uniformly and efficiently, reducing the risk of clumping or moisture-related issues in the final product.
• Improved Product Stability: The cooling process stabilizes the granules, reducing the likelihood of degradation or moisture absorption during storage and transportation.
• Versatility: The Drum Cooler can handle a wide range of fertilizers, including organic, inorganic, and compound fertilizers, making it suitable for various production lines.
• Energy Efficiency: The cooler is designed to optimize air flow and heat exchange, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
• Durable Construction: LANE Group’s Drum Cooler is built with high-quality materials and components, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance in demanding production environments.

Applications of the Drum Cooler

The Drum Cooler is widely used in the production of various types of fertilizers, making it a versatile tool in the agricultural and industrial sectors:

• Organic Fertilizers: The cooler is ideal for cooling organic granules, ensuring they are stable and ready for packaging or further processing.
• Inorganic Fertilizers: The cooler can efficiently handle mineral-based fertilizers, such as phosphate and potash, ensuring they are cooled to the correct temperature for storage and application.
• Compound Fertilizers: The cooler is perfect for cooling compound fertilizers that combine multiple nutrients, ensuring they remain stable and free of moisture-related issues.
• Bio-Fertilizers: The cooler can be used to process bio-fertilizers, ensuring that the living microorganisms within the granules remain viable and effective.
