THE WENDELL CONTINUOUS AUTOMATIC 

 DRIER 



The Wendell continuous automatic drier 

 is a machine for the dr.ying of washed coal 

 for coking purposes, and the smaller sizes 

 of steam and domestic coals. 



Although primarliy designed for drying 

 coal, it has a wide range of usefulness and 

 may be employed for removing mechanical 

 moistm-e from many materials. 



The ^^'endell dryer consists in general of 

 three main parts; the frame, a pair of feed 

 spouts and the container. Also a discharge 

 hopper for the dried coal and a sluice for 

 the reclaimed water. 



The feed spouts are fastened to the inner 

 solid shaft and are driven by suital)le trans- 

 mission so that they can revolve at any 

 desired speed independent of the retainer 

 The retainer is a conical-shai)ed chamber, 

 driven at a high rate of speed by a hollow 

 shaft independent of the feed spouts. The 

 outer inclined wall of the retainer is of 

 perforated metal and the bottom is provided 

 with openings closed by hinged doors. 

 Outside of the inclined wall is a sluice for 

 carrying away the water. The hinged doors 



are automatically opened and closed by a 

 pair of cams attached to the shaft which 

 carries the feed spouts and as the retainer 

 slowly gains upon the cams, the difference 

 in speed being very slight, the dried material 

 is automatically discharged through the 

 door openings, each door opening in its turn 

 As the door closes, the spout which follows 

 directly behind the cam, fills the empty 

 place in the retainer. 



The easy discharge of the material is 

 accelerated by the outer wall of the retainer 

 being inclined and the centrifugal force 

 makes the discharge almost instantaneous. 



The Wendell dryer is a machine which 

 automatically retains the material for a 

 definite predetermined time for drying. 

 The entire performance is continuous and 

 is accomplished by centrifugal force and 

 gravity; no scraping or plowing devices 

 being used, thereby eliminating excessive 

 wear and i)ower. 



The Wendell dryer is marketed by the 

 Link Belt Company, whose engineering 

 staff is prejiared to advise with those inter- 

 ested in drying problems to which this device 

 is applicable.
