THE AUTOMATED SYSTEMFOR THE CONTINUOUS DRYING AND SORTING OF METAL GRAINS BY DIAMETER
T-DRYRAY™
FOR GOLD AND SILVER GRAINS WITHOUT ANY MOISTURE
Metal grains must be perfectly dried to produce ingots. A one-kilogram gold ingot must be made with one kilogram of actual grains, without any moisture residues. That is why Tera Automation has developed the automated system called T-Dryray™, in which grains undergo a full drying process.
Grains are processed continuously, thus significantly optimizing the time required for this very important step.
Two units can be put in parallel to process gold and silver separately.
Thanks to its great performance, the T-Dryray™ machine can be employed in any grain production line and provides a final grain selection thanks to the T-Screening™ machine, a vibrating sieve for the diameter sorting of grains.

THE PAST
CRITICAL ISSUES AND DISAVANTAGES OF THE TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
- Processing requires a long time, because it takes place in three steps and with well-defined grain batches
- The first drying step is necessarily centrifugal: the water extracted with this first step amounts to 70%. During the second drying step, water in the grains is reduced by 90-95% by a hot air flow. The last drying step implies the use of Pyrex glass dishes located inside a hot-air oven. Nonetheless, a significant moisture residue will always be found
- It requires the constant presence of operators handling the different grain batches
- All the traditional drying machines require a lot of space and the use of many consumables, as well as high operating costs
- Risks of metal loss
- High costs
THE INNOVATION
THE ADVANTAGES OF AN AUTOMATED SOLUTION
- One continuous process without any waste of time
- Grains are fully dried, with no moisture residues. The water found in the grains is removed completely
- The drying process is automated and does not require the constant presence of operators
- The full grain drying equipment requires little space
- There is no metal loss
- Costs are optimized due to one single processing step

HOW DOES
THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC GRAIN DRIER T-DRYRAY™ WORK?
Grains are loaded inside a hopper supplying the vibrating inlet channel. By vibrating, this channel moves the grains inside a muffle, which is heated by electrical resistance, where the drying process occurs inside a rotating stainless steel cochlea. This process entails the continuous motion of grains and the evaporation of any water residue left in the grains, thus avoiding oxidation.
Once they are dry, grains are unloaded in the circular vibrating sieve called T-Screening™, whose purpose is to sort grains by diameter. The T-Screening™ vibrating sieve is very easy to install and can carry out several sorting operations thanks to its grids which can be fitted into one single unit. Selected grains are gathered in designated containers or transferred to the next processing step.
TAILORED AUTOMATION
AUTOMATION FOR PERFECTLY DRIED GRAINS
Each Tera Automation machine can be conceived as part of a modular line which can be combined according to the company's needs and facility space. Each machine can be fitted to existing machines and a full line can be developed over time.
T-Dryray™ was designed with the purpose of perfectly drying grains and can be combined with other machines, according to each operator's specific needs.
