Coating dryers for breakfast cereal production
When drying coated breakfast cereals, maintaining product integrity while achieving optimal moisture levels is crucial. Challenges include uneven drying, product contamination, and inefficient energy consumption, which can compromise product quality and safety.
Efficient and hygienic drying of coated cereals
The CEREX coating dryers provide a modern and modular solution for drying coated breakfast cereals. These dryers feature a modular design with eight standard sizes (COD 1040 – COD 2680) and customizable options to meet specific production needs. They offer conveyor widths of 1,000 mm, 1,400 mm, 2,000 mm, and 2,600 mm, suitable for various capacities. Each module, including Feed End, Air Up, Air Down, Utility Zone, Cooling Zone, and Delivery End, is designed with full access to all units and areas for easy maintenance and cleaning. Notably, the dryers are constructed without horizontal surfaces inside the product drying space, eliminating potential contamination points. The lubrication-free stainless steel chain and hygienic wash-down facility enhance operational cleanliness. Insulated panels, direct-driven shafts, and airtight doors with a new compression hinge design ensure efficient operation and minimal energy loss. Optional features such as a rotating pin roll, high-pressure conveyor wash system, and forced cooling using chill coils are available to further customize the drying process.
