Gelatin powder drying Equipment

Industrial drying machines are designed to remove moisture from your product. But the drying process must cater to variations in the state of matter and molecular structure of the input material. Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Drying

In 1682, Denis Papin found a method to remove collagen from animal bones, discovering gelatin. But it was the inventor Peter Cooper who developed gelatin powder processing. In 1845 he secured his invention with US patent 4084 for a dessert of gelatin powder called “portable gelatin”.
