Industrial predryer for humidity reduction in food processing
Ensure optimal shelf life and prevent product sticking with this humidity reduction predryer, seamlessly integrating into your production line right after pasteurization to effectively dry and stabilize products like pasta, snacks, and cereals.
Removes Surface Moisture and Humidity
The E – Pre-dryer from GEA is a specialized ventilated drying system engineered to enhance the production of pasta, snacks, and breakfast cereals by removing surface moisture and reducing humidity. Featuring a single treatment belt with customizable humidity control, it efficiently processes products like fusilli, rigatoni, and tortilla chips post-pasteurization. By employing a dual ventilation system powered by steam and inverter-controlled ventilators, the machine ensures precise moisture reduction tailored to your needs. Typically handling solid and granule product types, it supports a continuous and automated operation, seamlessly integrating into the processing and final conditioning phases. The E – Pre-dryer is designed with robust stainless-steel construction and features rinsing ramps for easy cleaning, while its openable lateral panels facilitate maintenance. Ideal for food manufacturers and snack producers, this pre-dryer optimizes production with flexible regulation capabilities and PLC-managed humidity extraction.
