Drying conveyor for hard vegetables

Ensure optimal drying of hard vegetables with a seamless integration of air blowing stations, reducing excess moisture before packaging or further processing while preserving product integrity.

Removes Surface Water from Produce

The Drying Conveyor DB by Sormac is a state-of-the-art dewatering solution for food and agricultural processors. It features a mesh belt system equipped with dual air blowing stations connected to a central fan, efficiently removing excess surface moisture from produce like Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli florets. Operating continuously at high speed, it handles up to 350 kg per hour, ensuring minimal damage to delicate products. Its design facilitates easy access for cleaning and maintenance, with a quick release system for the conveyor belt. Often paired with upstream equipment like belt slicers, spiral washers, and centrifuges, the DB smoothly integrates into automated production lines, enhancing overall processing efficiency.
