Flash dryer for corn starch
Reduce energy consumption and maintain product quality with efficient drying solutions designed to handle wet cakes and pastes, offering short residence times that are crucial for preserving the characteristics of moisture-sensitive materials.
Dries and Dewaters Slurries and Powders Efficiently
VetterTec’s Ring and Flash Dryers offer tailored solutions for industries requiring efficient drying of slurries, cakes, and powders. These dryers provide gentle, rapid drying through pneumatic and multi-pass systems, making them ideal for processing native and modified starches, vital wheat gluten, and lignin. Designed for continuous, high-speed operations, VetterTec’s dryers accommodate varying moisture levels with flexible inlet/outlet temperature adjustments and cyclone configurations for effective product collection. The systems are available either directly or indirectly heated, with energy-efficient options such as exhaust gas recycling, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency. Constructed for easy cleanability, they comply with ATEX/NFPA standards, ensuring safe operations in potentially explosive environments. With capabilities to integrate into complex production lines, VetterTec provides engineering support for customization to meet specific process requirements.
