Infrared dryer for breakfast cereals
Optimize your snack production with precise moisture control, energy-efficient infrared drying, and gentle product handling, ensuring high-speed, continuous output of quality snacks and cereals.

Dries, Roasts, and Extracts Moisture
Schaaf Technologie’s Infrared Drying and Roasting Drum combines short-wave and medium-wave infrared emitters for efficient heat distribution directly from infrared radiation, minimizing energy loss compared to traditional hot-air drying. Designed for snack and breakfast cereal production, it processes products like tortilla chips, rice crackers, and flavored crisps with continuous, high-speed operation. The drum’s special profile ensures even drying and gentle circulation, while PTFE coating prevents sticky products from adhering, maintaining hygiene. With stepless control of heat emission, you can adjust from gentle drying to browning roasting. Its corrosion-resistant construction and low-noise operation complement any snack manufacturer or cereal producer’s processing line, supporting seamless integration and scalability.
