Wide body dryer for dairy and food products
Achieve precise moisture control and optimal powder agglomeration for dairy and food products, ensuring your production line delivers consistent and high-quality output with reduced bulk densities and enhanced mixing capabilities.
Processes and Dries Powders and Granules Efficiently
The Wide Body Dryer from RELCO® provides a robust solution for industrial powder processing across diverse sectors such as food, dairy, and pharmaceuticals. This equipment features a vertical hot air distributor, ensuring even drying with minimal fan pressure, while its vibrating plug flow bed aids in precise moisture control. Ideal for applications ranging from non-fat dry milk to pharmaceutical-grade lactose, it supports continuous, customizable operations for various solid and granule product types. Equipped with advanced features like a Fines Return System and directional fluidbed screens, it enhances product quality through natural agglomeration. With options for a multi-fuel indirect heater and efficient heat recovery, it maximizes energy efficiency. The inclusion of a baghouse emissions system and retractable CIP nozzles facilitates easy maintenance and compliance with industry standards. Fully customizable to fit your production needs, the Wide Body Dryer integrates seamlessly into your processing line, backed by engineering support to fine-tune its capabilities.
