Flash dryer for corn starch
In the starch industry, controlling moisture content is crucial to ensure the quality and stability of the final product. Typical challenges include energy efficiency and the need for rapid, gentle drying to preserve product integrity.
Maintain moisture control with rapid drying
The VetterTec Flash Dryer is a single-pass, pneumatic drying system engineered to provide gentle drying with minimal residence time. Suitable for wet cakes and pastes, the dryer can be either indirectly heated using steam, thermal oil, waste heat, or natural gas/biogas, or directly heated with waste heat or natural/biogas. It features multiple options for product collection, including single or multi-stage cyclones, cyclone and bag filter combinations, or bag filters alone, depending on product and emission requirements. The system supports drying in inert atmospheres and can recycle exhaust gas for safety and energy savings. Designed for easy cleanability, the Flash Dryer adheres to ATEX/NFPA standards, making it suitable for various industries, including starch, food, chemical, pulp, and paper.
