Cylinder Drying Ranges
Cylinder Drying Ranges are the simplest but amongst the most important machines used in Textile Process House.
The cylinders can be installed in stacks of 6-8-10-12 cylinders and with one-two-three or more stacks to form a range.
High Speed Drying Ranges are usually provided with an AC inverter controlled drive with a Flat Belt or a Chain and Sprocket drive to the Individual cylinder.
Efficient condensate removal from the cylinders through a well designed trapping system, coupled with dry saturated steam feeding, ensures excellent performance of the Cylinder Drying range. SWASTIK Cylinder Drying Ranges are equipped with Rotary joints of adequate size for steam feeding and condensate removal (from both sides of the wider-width ranges) and a specially designed TRAPPING SYSTEM with individual traps for efficient removal of condensate water. This results in highest operating efficiency.
Good mechanical design, coupled with maximum cylinder surface utilization ensures lower energy consumption and higher efficiency.
