Industrial continuous heat treatment for dry ingredients
Processing dry ingredients with precision and efficiency is crucial in industries such as food production and bulk solids handling. Traditional methods may struggle to meet the demands for energy efficiency, even heating, and pathogen reduction while staying environmentally friendly.
Efficient heating with vibrational transport
The Revtech Continuous Heat Treatment system by Reading Bakery Systems exemplifies innovation in industrial heat processing. Utilizing a patented combination of electrical heat generation and vibrational transport in a closed stainless-steel spiral, it achieves rapid and uniform heating. The process can be enhanced with steam injection, allowing for effective steam sterilization and pasteurization. Noteworthy for its low energy consumption—around 100 kW/ton for pasteurization and 150-300 kW/ton for roasting—it ensures even treatment and gentle handling. It operates without chemical products, minimizing environmental impact and emissions. Validated by the FDA and the Almond Board of California, this system is ideal for various applications including drying, roasting, and pasteurization of nuts, seeds, and grains, achieving up to 7 log reduction of pathogens.
