摘要:
A process for the continuous coagulation and drying of rubber latex includes feeding the latex onto an endless conveyor belt (8) which feeds the latex through a coagulator (10). A combination of microwave energy and hot air raises the temperature of the latex causing it to coagulate in a coagulation time of less than five minutes. The coagulated rubber from the coagulator (10) is fed onto a conveyor belt (14) of a stretch unit (12) which stretches the rubber by increasing its speed of travel. The stretched rubber is then conveyed onto the upper belt (18) of a drying unit (16). The drying rubber is passed from the upper belt (18) onto an intermediate belt (20) and then on to a lower belt (22) before leaving the drying unit (16). A combination of microwave energy and hot air in the drying unit (16) is used to dry the rubber to a moisture content of less than 1.5%.
