Batch drying system for pelleted products
In the seed processing industry, achieving uniform coating and drying of pelleted products is crucial. Ensuring moisture control while maintaining batch traceability and containment poses a significant challenge, especially when dealing with high volumes and multiple batches.
Provides consistent coating and drying
The Batch Drying System from Hoopman Equipment is an automated solution designed for fluidised bed drying with single batch containment. This system is ideal for the combined coating and drying of pelleted products. Operating on a principle where an accumulated four batches can be dried in 60-80 minutes, it supports batch sizes ranging from 60 to 600 liters, achieving a total coating and drying capacity of 120 to 1800 liters per hour. The system’s unique design includes real-time weighing during the drying process, ensuring continuous moisture control. Additionally, the dryer rotates 180 degrees to empty out completely, eliminating cross-contamination between batches. This compact and efficient system is moderate in cost and offers a significant advantage over traditional vibrating fluidised bed systems, which are either costly due to compact design or lengthy because of simple construction.
