DRYING RODS AND TUBES USING AIR KNIVES AND SIDE CHANNEL BLOWERS

BNFL

Graphite fuel rods after washing and rinsing need to be dried before being transferred to a storage area. Because of the radio-active nature of the product, no human contact is allowed and the process must be fully automatic.

Fuel rods are passed through a circular air knife which removes 99% of the surface water. The rods are then passed through a drying oven to “flash off” the remaining moisture.
