Contact drum dryer for industrial food and chemical processing
Optimize your drying process with a contact drum dryer that ensures efficient moisture removal and product integrity, crucial for maintaining the unique properties of your end products during continuous and high-speed operations.
Continuously Dries and Conditions Slurries and Liquids
The ANDRITZ Gouda contact drum dryer stands out for its precise, continuous indirect drying method, ideal for food and chemical processing. Using steam-heated drums, it swiftly evaporates moisture from liquids and slurries, enhancing product stability and preserving key qualities like taste and texture. Applications range from baby food and whey protein to industrial-grade chemical additives. Designed for seamless integration into production lines, it offers high thermal efficiency and hygienic operation, aligning with HACCP standards. The system is advanced in energy efficiency, reducing consumption through its closed-loop design, and supports high throughput. Available with protective thermal spray coating (HVAF), it ensures long-lasting durability and compliance with European and US food-grade regulations. Maintenance is streamlined through features like adjustable knife holders and a user-friendly control system, allowing easy product adjustment and consistent operation.
