Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microwave drying equipment, in particular to a microwave vacuum low-temperature solid belt drying machine. Background Art

[0002] Vacuum continuous liquid belt dryers are a widely used type of drying equipment, widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Existing vacuum continuous belt dryers use steam, superheated water, thermal oil, and other media as heat sources, requiring supporting infrastructure such as steam. Heat transfer primarily relies on conduction, with heat transferred from the heating plate to the belt, and then from the belt to the material. This results in a low heat transfer coefficient, significantly impacting drying efficiency.

[0003] Patent document CN118031574A discloses a tunnel-type microwave vacuum ultra-low temperature drying device and material drying process for drying materials. The tunnel-type microwave vacuum ultra-low temperature drying device comprises: a main unit comprising a cavity having a cylindrical structure and a plurality of microwave generators; the cavity having a regular polygonal cross-section; the plurality of microwave generators being disposed on the outer wall of the cavity and arranged sequentially along at least the length of the cavity; a vacuum unit, the vacuum port of the vacuum unit being connected to the cavity via a pipeline; and a chiller, the cooling water pipe of the chiller being connected to the microwave generators and used to cool the microwave generators. By utilizing the property of microwaves that polar molecules oscillate and generate heat, and aided by the vacuum unit to evacuate the cavity, the water-containing material in the cavity is rapidly evaporated at low temperature within the vacuum environment, achieving drying efficiency and preventing damage to the material due to excessive temperature. However, this invention has the following shortcomings: 1) This invention belongs to intermittent microwave low-temperature evaporation, that is, after evaporating a batch of products, the cavity needs to be opened and new products to be evaporated need to be fed in. Its continuity is not very high, and it is mainly aimed at the evaporation of packaging paper bag products; 2) It is not suitable for the evaporation of granular products such as sand and gravel, especially continuous evaporation.
