Abstract

Improvements in dryers for ceramic pieces, essentially characterized by comprising two prismatic chambers (2 and 3), horizontal, superimposed, virtually twin, provided both with a series of windows (16 and 19), in their respective side faces, coincident and distributed uniformly, from the sides of the inlet mouth to each side of the outlet, of the material to be dried; by comprising fans (6), arranged in two lateral series, on common axes (15) along the chambers (2 and 3), facing the windows (16 and 19); by driving a stream of dry hot air through the opening (7) of the upper chamber (2) in a longitudinal direction towards the rectangular opening (8), curved upwards; by sucking the fans (6) on the right side of the dryer, through the windows (19), the hot air injected through (7), into the chamber (2), and pushing it through the respective windows (16), transversely, towards the windows (16), on the left side, observing from the mouth (9), the entrance of the material to be dried (5) and whose fans on this left side, impel it through their respective windows (19), to the right side, establishing a composition of forces, with the stream (7) of longitudinal dry air, whose inclined result (18) is sucked by the window (19), next from the right side and so on following the directions (17 and 18) alternating from the chamber (3) to the chamber (2), until the air is expelled to the outside, through the outlet (8); by contacting and drying the hot air, in its directions (17), with the ceramic material (5), introduced from the mouth (9) and transported to the outlet (10).
