1.2 THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTION
This project is designed and constructed to achieve the following goals:
1. To design and construct a spin dryer that will recycle brewery waste (spent grains).
2. To design and construct a machine that can dry rapidly trough spinning.
3. To design and construct a machine that will have high degree of automatization.
4. To design and construct a machine that will take less drying time.
5. To design a machine that will be easy in construction but have high efficiency.
6. To design and construct a machine that will be cheap to operate and maintain.
7. To design and construct a machine that will require less energy.
8.
To design and construct a machine that could impress on existing design
taking into cognisance, areas of need.
1.3 IMPORTANCE AND SPECIFICATION OF THE PROJECT
The
importance attached to the design of the spin dryers is to achieve a
fast spinning and drying system for drying of spent grains.
The
machine is design in such a way that it does not require squeezing
presses to demoisture the spent grains in the perforated spin tub/basket
rather works on the theory of centrifugal motion where the spent
grains are spin in the machine away from the centres of rotation at
high velocity rate, squeezing the water out.
This machine is design
to remove excess water from spent grains in minutes (it spin almost at a
rate of 145orpm) by spinning twice the capacity of a normal dryer. It
is designed to have a longer life span and efficient in its operation.
It is driven by a 4kw (5h.p) motor, as the motor is spinning the
basket, the moisture content is drain to the drum. The drum encloses the
basket which is covered to prevent the moisture content from splashing.
Also a mesh is also provided in the spinning tub to prevent escape of
spent grains during spinning.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This work is aimed at designing and fabricating a spin dryer which can be used in drying spent grains after brewing. This will no doubt save considerable human labours and time wastage involved in conventional method of drying the spent grains by spreading on the ground. It also saves as a means of employments for our teaming population. This machine was designed after due consideration of its ease of production, maintenance and servicing.Chapter one gives account of the introductory background ... Continue reading---
