Layer dryer for food and pet food applications
In the food and pet food industries, achieving efficient drying of items like nuts, cereals, extrudates, berries, and vegetables is crucial. High moisture content in these products can lead to spoilage, nutrient loss, and reduced shelf life, demanding an effective drying solution.
Optimize space and efficiency by layering belts
The Belt Dryer Type BTF-L by Stela Laxhuber is a sophisticated layer dryer designed specifically for food and pet food applications. This dryer utilizes multiple belts stacked on top of each other within a single housing, significantly reducing the required installation space while maximizing drying area. The BTF-L dryer excels in handling products with medium or low specific water evaporation, making it ideal for items that release moisture slowly but need extended drying times. The system’s design minimizes heat losses via the outer shell, lowers investment costs, and reduces electricity demand by enabling the same air flow to ventilate multiple belts. Additionally, the exhaust air flow rate is minimized, enhancing thermal energy efficiency. Suitable heat generators include gas, oil, biomass, or electric boilers, while hot water, steam, or thermal oil may be used as heat carriers. With options for various material handling and output technologies, the BTF-L dryer offers versatile and efficient drying solutions.
