A flame protection apparatus for installation in a dryer drum includes a plurality of sheet metal lamellae that form a ring arrangement about a longitudinal axis. Each sheet metal lamella includes a concave inner contour in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. On an outer side facing away from the inner contour, an installation member is configured for installing the sheet metal lamella on the dryer drum.

Systems and processes for curing a wet coating of a coated substrate are disclosed. The system includes a ventilation system and a curing room configured to receive the coated substrate being displaced along a displacement axis and includes at least an upstream curing section and a downstream curing section. The upstream curing section includes an upstream catalytic infrared heating system for producing an upstream infrared radiation at an upstream radiation intensity to heat and partially cure the wet coating while the coated substrate is being displaced through the upstream curing section. On the other hand, the downstream curing section includes a downstream catalytic infrared heating system for producing a downstream infrared radiation at a downstream radiation intensity, being lower than the upstream radiation intensity, to further cure the wet coating while the coated substrate is being displaced through the downstream curing section for producing a cured coating.

A sawn wood drying system, which allows to take advantage of the heat contained in the dry wood that leaves the system to preheat the wet and cold wood that enters the system, the system comprising: a heating chamber, a drying chamber and a cooling chamber, sequentially arranged, and a transport path that allows the transfer of sawn wood through these three chambers; a first air circulation system, which provides a first high temperature air flow inside the drying chamber; and a second air circulation system that provides a second air flow, independent of the first air flow, which allows the heating chamber to be in fluid communication with the cooling chamber by means of external chambers or ducts connecting both chambers.

A system and method for staged drying of temperature sensitive materials, the method comprising the following steps. Heated air is blown into a duct and solids are introduced into the duct at an elevated position along a vertical portion of the duct. The heated air and solids mixture is then transported along the duct for a desired retention time with adequate initial flash heating of the solids and then a gradual cool down of the solids. The solids are at an elevated temperature beyond the ambient dewpoint with evaporative cooling taking place. The solids and air mixture is then transported in the duct to a cyclone, where the solids are removed from the air. The air is exhausted out of the cyclone by an exhaust duct, and the solids are collected from the cyclone in a container.

A device for drying sewage sludge having a modular design composed of standard containers, the standard containers being disposed behind and optionally on top of one another. Slabs including heating lines are introduced on top of one another, in multiple levels, into the standard containers, serving as drying surfaces. Linear conveyors including deflections in a first and a last container distribute the sewage sludge across a width of the drying surfaces, turn and loosen the sewage sludge, and move this successively back and forth over the drying surfaces disposed on top of one another.
