Timing belt drying system for whey and permeate powders

Ensure high-quality production of free-flowing and non-caking whey and permeate powders with precision crystallization and drying, enhancing powder stability and performance in demanding processing environments.

Processes and Crystallizes Dairy Powders Efficiently

The Timing Belt Drying System from RELCO® offers a specialized solution for the dairy and food industry, ensuring optimal drying and crystallization of whey and permeate powders. This system stands out for its use of secondary crystallization on a timing belt conveyor, promoting the formation of high-quality, free-flowing, non-caking powders. Designed for seamless integration into existing production lines, the system operates continuously and efficiently, supporting 24/7 operations with minimal downtime.

Utilizing a tall form bustle dryer with vertical air distribution, the system ensures consistent and effective drying. The precise control of humidity and airflow is maintained by the RELCO® Humidity Monitoring and Control System, optimizing dryer performance across all ambient conditions. With a production capacity capable of handling diverse dairy products, this system meets the demands of high-volume processing environments.

Safety and compliance are prioritized, incorporating features like water deluge fire suppression and explosion protection. The system’s design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance through a comprehensive CIP protocol, ensuring hygienic operation and reduced contamination risk. Available in robust material options, the Timing Belt Drying System guarantees durability and is engineered to meet stringent industry standards.
