The Tumble Dryers’ Impacts on the Tunnel Washer Systems  Part 2

The size of the tumble dryer's inner drum plays a vital role in its operation. Generally speaking, the larger the dryer's inner drum, the more space the linens will have to turn during drying so that there will be no linen accumulation in the center. The hot air can also pass through the middle of the linens more quickly, taking away the evaporated moisture and effectively shortening the drying time.

However, many people do not understand this. For example, some people use a 120-kg tumble dryer to dry 150 kg of linen. When the towels are turned over in the tumble dryer with a small inner drum volume and insufficient space, the softness and feel of the linens will be relatively poor. Moreover, in this case, not only will more energy be consumed, but the drying time will also be greatly extended. This is actually one of the reasons why many tunnel washer systems are inefficient.

It should be noted that there is a corresponding standard for the volume of the inner drum of a tumble dryer, which is generally 1:20. That is, for every kilogram of linen dried, the volume of the inner drum must reach the standard of 20 L. Normally, the volume of the inner drum of a 120-kg tumble dryer should be above 2400 liters.

The inner drum diameter of the CLM direct-fired tumble dryer is 1515 mm, the depth is 1683 mm, and the volume reaches 3032 dm³, that is, 3032 L. The volume ratio exceeds 1:25.2, which means that when drying 1 kg of linen, it can provide a capacity of more than 25.2 L.

A sufficient inner drum volume ratio is one of the important reasons for the high efficiency of the CLM direct-fired tumble dryer.
