Personal Protection—
Countermeasures against Accidents
1 All the mechanical equipments produced by Jiangsu Muyang Group are equipped
with safety devices, which are consistent with modern technical level and A
universally effective safety rules prior to ex works, so that the customers can use
the machines in accordance with the regulations.
2 Enterprises are obligate to execute following regulations to guarantee operators'
safety.
3 The coupling shield cap must be mounted and closed at any moment. It is very
dangerous to personal safety, if they are open or disassembled. This point is also
applicable for the preventive device of manipulator.
4 The safety limit switch should always be kept in good order. The safety limit
switch may not be overlapped or discarded.
5 The grating cover plate, grid bar or guard grating are usually installed and
delivered together with the machine. They can only be disassembled with tools.
And the machines with such kind of devices can never put into work until the
above-said devices have been properly installed.
6 The driving motor must be switched off completely when carrying out inspection,
commissioning, repair and maintenance. This can be realized through a
full-phase separating and lockable switch installed near the machine or on the
operation desk and control panel on the site. It is not enough only to screw off the
fuse wire!
7 If the machines need other energy like pneumatic, hydraulic, steam and hot water
energy, it is necessary to cut off their energy supply or turn off the switch, and
eliminate the pressure in the internal pipeline system of the machine.
8 As for handling heated or cooled parts and components of the machine, especial
care should still be taken for the danger of burning possibility.
9 If you have pressed the emergency stop switch to stop the machine and you want
to reset the switch, so it is not permissible to only re-press this button to restart
the machine. And the machine can only be started by re-closing the main switch
first. Circumfluent

In order to improve and develop our products, we reserve the right to modify the Operation Manual.
10 If some machines are equipped with a local shutdown system, especial care
should be taken. Read the instruction manuals attached with the machine A
carefully. In such machines with a local shutdown system, temperature will rise
because of pressure or vacuum will occur after they have been used for a period.
11 If the operators employed cannot read or write, the owner has the duty to explain
to them clearly where dangers exist and warn them that special attention should
be paid.
12. The cleaning, lubricating and oiling of the machine or its parts and components
may be carried out only when the machine is stopped. If you must climb on or
enter the machine to do such work, the mandatory provisions shall be made
without exception: the power supply of motors must be cut off completely and the
switch must be locked!
13 Be careful, sampling from inside the machine can never be carried out unless
there is not any danger. Usually, the samples can be taken from the pipe under
the machine instead of inside machine.

Working principle and structural features
（1） Working principle
（a） Working principle

Series SKGD2400 multi pass convection dryer is a kind of horizontal dryer working by using
air heated by steam as drying medium, and removes surplus moisture from material by a cross
flow drying method (air flow direction and material advance direction are crossed, i.e. crossflow) to
realize moisture and heat exchange of material and hot air inside the dryer, so as to reach the
requirement to moisture content in finished product.
（b） Working process

Working process of dryer is shown as follows (see Fig D-1):
 Qualified material produced by the upper extruding machine will be evenly spread on
the conveying belt through spreader;
 Material will enter the drying section by the conveying belt;
 Heat air discharged by the circulating fan will enter the drying section and pass through
the material on the conveying belt to realize moisture and heat exchange between
material and air;
 Dried material will be returned at material returning section;

Material dried for four times will be discharged from feeding section of the dryer.

（c） Circulating air passage

After being heated by heat exchanger on the top of drying section, the air will enter the drying
chamber alongside built-in air passage on the side of drying section under the push of circulating
fan.
After drying medium and material exchange heat and moisture on conveying belt, part of air
will be discharged out of the dryer through exhausting gate, which bringing away a part of moisture
of material.
While most part of air will be heated again by the heat exchanger, and then mixed with fresh
air to enter the dryer again, so as to realize circulating utilization of air flow (see Fig D-2).
Note: the air passage in Fig is only as reference, and the actual air passage can be adjusted
based on demand.

The schematic diagram for production process (Fig.E-1) only shows how the interfaces of the
dryer are connected with other equipment in the production process, but does not indicate the
detailed production process flow, and the detailed process flow should be designed by
professional technological designers.
（2） Material feeding

High-temperature expanded pellet feed enters the spreader in the dryer through a belt
conveyor in combination with a spout, and is uniformly distributed on the conveying belt through
the spreader.
Pneumatic conveying is also one of optional methods for conveying material into the dryer.
SKGD2400 Multi Pass Convection Dryer V.SKGD2400_001_200806 E-1

Production Process
（3） Material discharging
The dried pellets are discharged out of the machine through an outlet, they can be collected in a
discharging hopper at first and then conveyed to next working procedure through a belt conveyor.
Whatever method is used, it is necessary to take the harmful effect of discharging mode on
pellet appearance into account, and to determine a executive plan after comprehensive
consideration of other adaptable technological factors.
(4) Dust collecting system
The matched cyclone separator should have a proper size and this is one of important factors
effecting the dust collecting result. A too big cyclone separator will result in blowing-out of dust due
to insufficient centrifugal force and a too small cyclone separator will also result in blowing-out of
dust because it cannot keep air flowing.

E
Specialized designers will provide an effective method of resolution in this aspect.

Transportation and Installation
Transportation
(1) Hoisting
The hooks should be hung to the ear rings, so as to avoid any damage to important working
components of the dryer and any effect on the operation performance of the machine. Since the
volume of belt type circumfluent dryer is comparatively large, so it is hoisted and transported in
separated parts when delivering.
See Fig. F-1, F-2, F-3, F-4 and F-5 for hoisting.
Note: Ropes shall be capable of bearing the weight of the part to be hoisted and shall be long
enough.
 Pay attention to hoist the dryer according to the sequence of installation serial
numbers, which are marked on the connecting places of the dryer components.

F-2
Fig. F-5 Schematic diagram of hook mounting
(2) Transportation
When the machine is to be delivered out of the manufacturer plant, a decision can made on
whether a package box is to used in accordance with the actual conditions. If a package box is not
to be used, weather-tight measures should be taken in transportation, and the equipment should
be protected against collision and overturning.
When packing, the machine and accessory parts should be fixed tightly in the packing box, and
clearances should be reserved between them and the walls of the box for avoiding any collision
damage in transportation. In case of excessive height of the machine, it should be split into parts
for easy transportation.
The temperature for normal transportation of the machine: -25～55℃
(3) Storage
(a) Requirement for long-term storage
The dryer may be set aside and unused for a long time, in such case the following measures
should be taken:
 When it is left unused and stored outdoors for a long time, measures against rain, sunshine,
water accumulation etc. should be taken;
 When it is left unused and stored indoors for a long time, there should be good provisions for
ventilation and damp-proofing.
(b) Requirement for short-term storage
The dryer that has been delivered to the jobsite may not be installed at once to the predetermined
position. In such case it must be stored with its original package in a place where wind, rain and
other outside harms can be avoided.

F-3
Unpacking and Inspection

When the machine has been delivered to a destination, open the package and check against
the packing list for any collision and wearing in transportation, carefully check the documents and
accessory parts delivered with the machine, and a good unpacking record should be placed on.

F-4
Mechanical Installation
 The machineries and components manufactured by Jiangsu Muyang Group shall be
installed only by the personnel with special skills under the direction of Muyang professional
technicians or according to the installation specifications specified in the documents provided
together with the equipment.
 If necessary, please call Muyang Group for installation consultation and pertinent
installation information.
 The personnel for installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment must read
over this chapter and have a good grasp of the contents.
(1) Installation foundation
Because the dryer has a large volume, anchor bolts should be reserved to ensure smooth and
steady installation of the machine.
The ground contacting with support legs of the dryer must be flat and rigid. During the installation,
pay attention to adjust the height of support legs, so that the dryer can be in horizontal status
entirely.
 If necessary, please contact Muyang engineering and technical personnel to obtain the
relevant technical parameters related to installation foundation.
For the installation foundation dimensions, please see the “Schematic diagram for installation
foundation” in Fig. F-9～F-11 in this chapter.
(2) Installation space
Drying is an operation carried out under relatively high temperature, so a sufficient space should
be reserved for working of the operator and repairman. And it should be ensured that all the
access doors can be easily opened for inspection and repair.
In order to ensure free air intake at the top of the dryer as well as smooth inspection and repair, at
least 1.2m open space should be retained at the top.

F-5
In order to guarantee that all the service doors around the dryer can be smoothly opened and
closed as well as sufficient activity space can be preserved for the operation and repair, it is
suggested to refer the preserved space around the machine in scaled drawings for installation of
the machine, Fig. F-6～Fig. F-8 in this chapter.
(3) Ventilation
Owing to the fact that drying operation needs a great deal of dry air, so attention should be paid to
the ventilation conditions in the room where the dryer is installed, and windows to be opened
frequently should be retained near the dryer to the best one’s ability.
(4) Assembly
The installation dimensions of all the main component parts of the dryer are completely uniform so
as to ensure their interchange in assembling. Even so, we still suggest that the customer should
carry out the installation under the guidance of the personnel in charge of installation or strictly in
accordance with the codes of the component parts.
For the detailed dimensions, see the scaled drawings for installation shown in Fig. F6～F8.

(5) Installation of conveying belt
（d） General installation procedure

The overall size of the dryer is relatively large, and the rotation shafts of conveying belt are
relatively far apart, therefore the center distance of its chain wheel is not easy to be adjusted. For
smooth and stable operation of the conveying belt, it is rational to:
a．Preset the rotation shafts, and keep them as parallel as possible with each other;
b．Install the chain with two screen belt brackets to be fitted at every 10 links, and the connecting
bolts should not be screwed tightly. Start the driving motor. Make fine adjustment as per the
operating state at both sides so that no climbing and derailing phenomena of the chain occur;
c．Simultaneously adjust the adjustable supports so that the chain can naturally drop down to the
guide rail at ease, and ensure that the chain and its accessories will not collide or rub with other
parts of the dryer during operation;
d. Install all the screen belt brackets and sweeping devices (of the second and forth layers of the
conveying belt), and the connecting bolts should not be screwed tightly (see Fig. F13, 13 and 14);
e．Operate the dryer’s conveying belt and further check the running stableness of the chain at least
for one-week operation;
f．Tightly screw all the bolts used for connecting the chain and chain accessories;
g．Overlap the screen belt well with a solid joint, see Fig. F-13;
h．If possible, restart the conveying belt and repeat the work as mentioned in the above points “c
and e”.
（e） Installation of chain guard plate

The final assembly of the dryer on site is a very important,
heavy and complicated work. If the details in the assembly are
ignored, the later operation and maintenance work will be
severely affected.
The chain guard plate (see Fig. F-12) should be installed
according to a certain rule, thus to lower the probability of
mechanic damage caused by a wrong Fig. F-12 Chain guard plate
assembly method and to reduce unnecessary maintenance work.
We recommend the installation method indicated in Fig.F-13.
In Fig.F-13:
 The figure in left-upper area indicates the sectional schematic of conveying belt after
installation (front view);
 The figure in left-lower area is a schematic diagram for partial enlargement of the
circle marked in the front view, and shows installation relation at bolt connection place
of the conveying belt;
 The figure in right-upper area is a left view in the front view;
 The figure in right-lower area is A-A section in the front view;
 The left view and A-A section indicate the relation between the relative installation
position of adjacent chain guard plates and running direction of the conveying belt.

（f） Installation of conveying screen belt

 The screen is divided into polyester screen and stainless steel screen for the customer
to select.
 When installing the stainless steel screen, it shall be flatly laid and tensioned naturally.
 The polyester screen will be shrunken and deformed under high temperature. When
installing it, a surplus of 1.5％～2.5 ％ must be preformed in length direction (running
direction), i. e. between two brackets, or it is installed according to preformed holes at the
edge of the screen belt.
There are two types of conveying screen belts for the dryer: polyester woven screen and
stainless steel woven screen. They are assembled in a consistent sequence and method.
 For united description and easy exchange, this operation manual specifies that the
conveying belts of the dryer are named as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th layers orderly from top to
bottom.
The 1st and 3rd layers of the conveying belt are installed in the same method, and the 2nd and
4th layers of the conveying belt are installed also in the same method, the difference is that the
sweeping devices are provided on the 2nd and 4th layers for cleaning residue dust from the base
plate.
For installation of sweepers on all the layers as well as the 2nd and 4th layers of the conveying
belt, please obey the following contents.
Installation of 1st and 3rd layers of the conveying belt
See the “schematic diagram for installation of the 1st and 3rd layers of the conveying belt” in
Fig. F-14.

The arrow in Fig. F-14 indicates the running direction of the conveying belt.
The corresponding correct running direction of the conveying belt can be determined
according to the mark of rotating direction on the guard shield of the driving device in the dryer.

Installation of the sweeper

The 2nd and 4th layers of the conveying belt are complete with sweepers for cleaning residue
dust and a few granules from two layers of base plate in the drying section.
Because of different types of the dryer purchased, the quantity of the sweepers matched is
also different, see Table F-1.
 In the installation, attention should be paid to distributing the sweepers onto the whole
conveying belt according to the quantity as evenly as possible, preventing individual
sweepers from too heavy working load and too early mechanic damage.
 If the sweepers are damaged in operation of the equipment, please shut down the dryer
at once, repair or dismount it in time, preventing other parts of the dryer from mechanic
damage！
 In case the sweepers are damaged, shut down the dryer at once, and then check the
dryer inside and mechanic components related to the sweepers for any damage under
the condition of guaranteeing the safety of personnel and machine, and repair it in time
if necessary！

(6) Installation of geared motor for the conveying belt

Because of limitation of sea and land transport, the geared motor may be dismounted from
the dryer that the customer has received. So the geared motor should be remounted on site.
The dryer is equipped with 4 layers of the conveying belt in total, which are driven individually,
and their transmission ratios are not completely consistent.
Usually, the transmission ratios of 1st and 3rd layer of the conveying belt are the same, and the
transmission ratios of 2nd and 4th layers of the conveying belt are the same. In the dryer with
standard configuration, the transmission ratios of 2nd and 4th layers of the conveying belt will be
much higher.
When installing the geared motor, attention should be paid to the type and the transmission

ratio on the nameplate of the geared motor, to avoid any error and affecting the operating
performance. For a correct configuration, see the “transmission ratio for each layer of conveying
belt of the dryer and type of the geared motor” in Table F-2.

 Start feeding for dry operation.
(3) Shutdown
The following are the shutdown procedures recommended:
 Cut off steam supply to the steam system;
 Shutdown the motor of the spreader;
 Wait till the equipment is cooled down;
 Shutdown the motor of the circulating fan;
 Shutdown the motor of the main air-intaking fan;
 Shutdown the motor of the first layer of conveying belt;
 Shutdown the motor of the second layer of conveying belt;
 Shutdown the motor of the cleaning auger in the upper drying chamber;
 Shutdown the motor of the third layer of conveying belt;

G
 Shutdown the motor of the forth layer of conveying belt;
 Shutdown the motor of cleaning auger in the lower drying chamber;
 Clean the dryer;
 Prepare for the next operation.
(4) Others
The starting and stopping procedures in this Chapter are recommended methods, and the
sequence can be slightly adjusted according to specific usage conditions. The principle for
starting is that the rear motors should be started prior to the front ones. While the principle for
stopping is that the front motors should be stopped prior to the rear ones.
 The operators should understand the machine structure and know well the machine
performance and operation method, and have passed through the training organized
by Jiangsu Muyang Group or some special training courses.
 Material should be fed uniformly during production, and can not be sometimes more
and sometimes less, so as to guarantee that the motors can work under the rated
loads.

Usage and operation
 The machine must idly run for 20～30 min after the work is finished, and cab not be
shut down until all the materials have been discharged out of the machine.
 If any abnormal problem occurs during operation of the dryer, it should be shut down
and checked at once, and can not be started again until the cause of fault has been
found out and eliminated.
 Temperature rise of the main bearings (It refers to the raised temperature based on
environmental temperature) should not be higher than 35℃, and not exceed 70℃ in
maximum (when the environmental temperature is not higher than 40℃).
 Cleaning and necessary checking should be well done after the work of each shift is
over.

Usage and operation
Adjustment of the equipment
 DO NOT conduct any mechanical adjustment on the equipment when it is running！

(1) Adjustment of conveying belt
 Running speed of conveying belt determines drying period of material in drying
chamber;
 Running speed of conveying belt determines the accumulation thickness of
material on the conveying belt;
 Hot air is not easy to pass through material arising from excessive thickness of
material, so that drying effect will be influenced;
 It is recommended that material thickness shall be not more than 10cm;
 Conveying belt is driven by frequency conversion motor, running speed of
conveying belt can be controlled through changing rotation speed of the motor
by frequency converter;
G
 If a local operating system of Muyang dryer has been selected, the drying time
for each layer of conveying belt can be inputted directly from the operating
interface.
(2) Tensioning of driving links
Positions required tensioning are shown as follows:
 Driving chains of conveying belt, four places;
 Chains of conveying belt, four places;
 Driving chains of spreader, one place;
 Driving belts of circulating fan, several places.
(3) Adjustment of spreader
Refer to “Fig. D-4 Schematic diagram for structure of spreader” of Part D in this Operation
Manual.
 The spreader influences the spreading scope of material on conveying belt;
 Move connection rod outward alongside amplitude adjusting plate (i.e. distant
from centre of gyration of the spreader), it will reduce spreading area of
material; vise versa, it will increase spreading area of material;

Usage and operation
 Knuckle bearings are set at both ends of the connection rod; using screws of
both ends of the connection rod can adjust the length of it. Adjust the length of
connection rod before carrying material to make oscillating material tube
symmetrical at its gyration center on two limit positions. Otherwise, it will cause
severe difference on thickness of material on both sides of conveying belt.
(4) Adjustment of air intake gate
 Opening of air intake gate determines the volume of fresh air to be
complemented;
 There are ten small round holes on adjusting plate of air intake gate arranged
in a line, which can be used as a scale for measuring the opening of the air
gate;
 When it is determined that steam quality conforms to the requirement, but
temperature of hot air cannot be up to the preset value, which may be caused
by excessive opening of air intake gate, so the air gate can be closed properly;
 In general, recommended opening of air gate is around 30％;

G
 If a local operating system of Muyang dryer has been selected, the opening of
circulating air gate can be adjusted according to the humidity display values of
circulating air on the operating interface.
(5) Adjustment of air exhaust gate
 Opening of air exhaust gate determines discharge amount of waste gas after
drying;
 Opening of air exhaust gate can be read through the position of adjusting
handle;
 There are small observation windows set on both sides of the air exhaust gate,
through which actual opening of blade of air gate can be observed;
 Opening of air exhaust gate at the end of exhaust system can be increased
properly.
 If a local operating system of Muyang dryer has been selected, the opening of
air exhaust can be adjusted according to the temperature and humidity display
values of exhausted air on the operating interface.
(6) Adjustment of circulating air gate

Usage and operation
 Opening of circulating air gate determines the volume of circulating air
 As for material with small specification, its opening can be reduced properly to
prevent material from being blown out of the conveying belt.
