Coating dryers for breakfast cereal production
Achieve precise moisture control in coated cereal production with these modular dryers, ensuring optimal texture and flavor retention for high-quality end products.
Dries and Coats Snacks and Cereals
The COD 1040 and COD 2680 modular coating dryers from Cerex AG redefine drying precision for food processing, integrating seamlessly into cereal and snack production lines. These dryers specialize in efficiently drying and coating cereals, granola clusters, and coated nuts. With conveyor widths ranging from 1,000 mm to 2,600 mm, the units offer eight standard sizes to match your production needs, with custom sizes available on request.
Each dryer operates continuously, employing a conveyor system that minimizes energy loss through advanced modular air-up and air-down zones. All modules, built with hygienic design principles, feature lubricating-free stainless steel chains and a full wash-down facility for ease of cleaning. Enhanced by a unique direct-driven shaft design, they eliminate belts and chains, improving operational reliability.
Designed for easy integration, the dryers include configurable utility and cooling zones, and seamless inline incorporation with upstream coating drums or downtream puffing systems. Optional features such as high-pressure conveyor wash systems and customizable feeding mechanisms provide tailored solutions to meet specific manufacturing challenges. These dryers support high-throughput processes, delivering consistent quality for a wide range of granule and solid snack products.
