Efficient dryer-cooler for solvent-extracted meals
Optimize moisture control and energy efficiency in your production line with this advanced dryer-cooler, perfect for processing solvent-extracted vegetable and oilseed meals.
Dries and Cools Oilseed Meals Efficiently
The Dryer-Cooler from Crown Iron Works is a versatile solution for oilseed processors and biofuel producers, designed to efficiently dry and cool solvent-extracted meals. It features a counter-current system that uses heated air for drying and ambient air for cooling, maximizing thermal efficiency and reducing energy costs. Ideal for soybean, canola, sunflower, and various plant-based products, this equipment ensures consistent product quality. With capabilities ranging from pilot to large-scale production, it integrates seamlessly into your existing production line. Constructed with a vertical multiple tray design, it minimizes the footprint while offering robust material handling. The heavy-duty construction, featuring hard-surfaced steel sweep arms and adjustable automatic gate mechanisms, ensures long-term durability and minimal maintenance. Available in multiple material options, it can be customized for specific applications, supported by Crown’s engineering expertise.
