The Story of Application to the Industry

In cement companies, cement bags are loaded into vehicles either manually or through conveyor automation. However, if the vehicle's floor is wet, moisture is created, degrading the lower-stored cement into solid powder. This issue necessitates waiting until the vehicle floors are entirely dry, which often takes more than 90-120 minutes during the monsoon and can extend even longer in the winter.

Why the Cement Industry Needs the LHS 61 L System 16KW& K06 Blower

Traditional methods of drying the wet floors of vehicle bases include using convection methods by turning on the vehicles for a particular period, allowing the engine heat to transfer and partially dry the vehicle floor. However, this method is inefficient and environmentally friendly. Cement companies, particularly those with 80-100 vehicles loading cement bags daily, are increasingly concerned about carbon emissions.

The  Leister LHS 61L System 16KW and High Pressure Blower provide a more efficient and environmentally friendly solution. These devices can quickly and effectively dry vehicle floors, reducing waiting times and minimizing the risk of moisture damage to the cement.

How the Cement Industry Uses Trolley-Based Hot Air Dryers

When a customer requested a solution for this issue, using Leister’s LHS 61L system on a trolley to remove the moisture on the surface of the truck’s base to test the effectiveness. The result is a small, plug-and-play, user-friendly, and time-saving solution. The trolley-based hot air dryer can be easily moved and operated, making it a practical choice for cement companies.
By using the  Leister LHS 61L System 16KW and High Pressure Blower, companies can significantly reduce drying times, increase efficiency, and decrease their carbon footprint. This innovative solution ensures that cement bags remain dry and intact during transport, preventing spoilage and financial losses.

Conclusion

The Leister LHS 61L System 16KW and High Pressure Blower offer a vital solution for the cement industry, addressing the critical issue of wet vehicle floors. By implementing these advanced drying systems, cement companies can improve their operational efficiency, protect their products, and reduce their environmental impact. Leister continues to lead the way in providing innovative and practical solutions for industrial challenges.
