Granola drying solution

Optimize your granola production with modular drying technology that ensures precise moisture control and seamless integration into existing lines.

Dries and Cools Granola and Cereal Products

The Granola Dryer CMG 1040 and CMG 2680 from CEREX AG are modular drying systems designed for the precise control of moisture in granola and cereal products. Featuring a unique modular design, these dryers incorporate a conveyor system with customizable widths and perforation types, ensuring optimal drying efficiency. They are ideal for granola clusters, müsli base flakes, and cereal bars, accommodating both continuous and modular operations. With processing capacities available in five standard sizes, they offer scalability for diverse production needs. Automation is enhanced through direct-driven shafts, eliminating belt and chain maintenance, while an integrated wash-down facility ensures hygiene. Stainless steel construction, with options for higher-grade AISI 316, enhances durability and corrosion resistance. The design eliminates horizontal surfaces and exposed bolts in the product zone, promoting cleanliness. CEREX provides engineering support for customization, including contact part polishing and additional spreading and agitating options, ensuring your drying solution meets specific production requirements.
