JUSTIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION-TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF INFRARED VIBRATION DRYER
The search for resource-saving and environmentally friendly technologies and technical solutions in the production of food products should occur through the development and development of new analytical methods and constructive measures, which will lead to progress in this field not only in our country but also abroad. The efficient use of processing facilities has always been characterized by its high level of mechanization. Drying is one of the most widespread technological operations in various industries of processing and food production, in particular in the preservation of raw materials. Prospects for the development of drying technologies include reducing energy costs for moisture extraction; improving the quality of dried products; development of highly efficient universal equipment; ensuring the environmental safety of drying plants. When studying different physical phenomena in the process of vibration drying, two methods of research are used, which allow to obtain quantitative regularities. In the first method is used experimental study of specific properties of a single phenomenon, in the second - based on a theoretical study of this problem. The advantage of the experimental research method is the reliability of the obtained results. The analysis of literature sources is carried out and the necessity and possibility of creation of new designs of dryers using infrared influence on the product and vibrational vibrations of the working container for intensification of the drying process is substantiated. The proposed design of an experimental laboratory drying unit for drying granular and granular materials in a vibrating boiling layer allows to identify patterns of changes in the parameters of the drying process, to obtain data to optimize the process and to develop a method of engineering calculation of devices for infrared drying.
