AI Technical Summary
The existing drum cooling structure of caustic soda flake machines causes large temperature fluctuations in the molten caustic soda solution, and caustic soda flakes are prone to absorbing water and becoming damp.
It employs a metal support cylinder and a cooling and temperature regulation component, using air or high-boiling-point oil as the temperature regulation medium. Gradual cooling is achieved through a buffer chamber and distribution pipe set on the inner wall of the metal support cylinder, combined with heat exchange through finned heat exchange tubes to control temperature fluctuations.
This reduces temperature fluctuations on the roller surface, prevents caustic soda flakes from absorbing moisture and regaining dampness, and extends the service life of the roller.
