In this paper an analysis of the influence of parameters of flights from
inner drying chamber structure and drying chamber is given. The influence of
the following parameters on dryer working process is analyzed: number, shape
and width of flights, level of coverage of cross-section drying chamber by
material, rpm and drying chamber diameter. In the analytical expression for
determining the amount of material seized by a curved flight, depending on
the current position of the flight during drum rotation, a new parameter is
introduced, compared to expression for a rectilinear flight. The expanded
analytical expression could be used for optimization.
