Drying systems for alcohol production
Enhance your spirits production with precise moisture control and nutrient retention, optimizing outputs like whisky and DDGS while ensuring compliance with emission standards.
Dries, Evaporates, and Converts Stillage
VetterTec’s alcohol production systems excel in transforming distillation by-products into Dry Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS) and protein-rich feeds. These systems employ a range of dryers, including tube bundle and spray dryers, coupled with mechanical dewatering and pneumatic conveying systems. Suitable for high-throughput operations, they handle various product types from liquids to solids efficiently. Integrating seamlessly within production lines, the systems leverage advanced automation for continuous operation, ensuring minimal emissions and optimal energy recovery through stillage evaporation. Constructed from robust materials, these systems are designed for durability and corrosion resistance, with options for customization to meet specific production demands. Proven reliable over decades, they are a preferred choice for distilleries and bioethanol producers aiming for efficient waste utilization while complying with environmental standards and feed nutrient requirements.
