Contact drum dryer for industrial food and chemical processing
Industrial drying processes demand high efficiency and precision to maintain product integrity. Traditional drying methods can pose challenges like energy inefficiency and risk of product damage, making specialized solutions vital in food and chemical production.
Ensure uniform drying with minimized product damage
The ANDRITZ Gouda contact drum dryer employs a continuous indirect drying method, optimizing heat retention time by evaporating all liquid in a single drum rotation. This process preserves product quality by maintaining unique properties such as taste, smell, and texture. The drum is heated internally using steam, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and consistent output quality. This system features a closed steam cycle to prevent contamination. Its high thermal efficiency and various configurations suit diverse applications, including vacuum drying for heat-sensitive components. Compliant with European and US food-grade standards, it is versatile for use across food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Designed for easy maintenance and high durability, it encompasses features like a protective thermal spray coating (HVAF) for better wear resistance.
Benefits
- High thermal efficiency reduces energy consumption
