The invention relates to industrial
automation production equipment and a production method which are used for lignite-
drying and quality-improving moulding. The industrial
automation production equipment mainly comprises a belt deironing conveyor, a
belt conveyor, a coarse
grinding machine, a classifying screen, a hoisting
machine, main equipment 1-3-stage fine
drying machine, a wet-type separating and aggregating device and a dust-removing purifying chamber, wherein a fine lignite
dry powder storage
silo and a moulding machine are successively arranged and connected in a technological process; and the lignite is converted into
briquette, wherein the original all water of lignite is reduced to less than 10wt% from less than 65wt% by virtue of the 1-3-stage fine
drying machine, hydrophilicity which is smooth outside and coarse inside and is compact outside and loose inside is changed into hydrophobicity, and surface property is converted into the property similar to excellent bituminite. The equipment provided by the invention has unique and novel structure, high drying efficiency and low cost; a product is difficult to absorb water,
spontaneous combustion and heat value are greatly improved, and the problems of
weathering,
spontaneous combustion, transportation, storage, great investment and high cost are comprehensively solved. The equipment and method provided by the invention can be widely applied to lignite
dehydration moulding in power plants at home and aboard and other boilers, and the equipment provided by the invention is
dehydration drying and quality improving technical equipment of a new generation.
