ABSTRACT:
A machine for drying granular materials such as sand and gravel. The machine includes coaxial inner and outer cylinders. Moist sand is introduced into an inlet end of the inner cylinder and gravel is introduced into the inlet end of the outer cylinder. The sand is moved along the inner cylinder by impellers toward the outlet end of the inner cylinder in heat exchange relation with the inner cylinder while the sand is heated to evaporate water therefrom. The heated sand is directed from the outlet end of the inner cylinder into an inlet end portion of the outer cylinder to mix with the gravel. Impeller assemblies mounted on the interior of the outer cylinder raise the sand-gravel mixture as the cylinders rotate to cause the sand-gravel mixture to advance along the space between the cylinders toward the outlet end of the outer cylinder and to cascade against an outer wall of the inner cylinder. End portions of the inner cylinder are carried by support assemblies mounted on the outer cylinder. Resilient support assemblies support a central portion of the inner cylinder. The resilient support assemblies accommodate variations in diameter of central portions of the cylinders during operation of the machine.
