BARREL DRYER

Barrel dryers are another option for drying small production quantities. They may be designed for manual operation. Additional conveyance provisions are used for semi or fully automatic solutions. This is recommendable for higher or continuous processing quantities. In-barrel drying takes place sometimes in fully static mode, most often in minimal intermittent movement mode. The exact movement parameters are critical and are determined in drying tests. Owing to its intermittent movement the barrel is suited for less sensitive products, e. g. products subjected to subsequent grounding.
Airgenex®food barrel dryers are built in conformance with hygienic design requirements. High temperature zones for sterilization or other purposes may easily be integrated in the system. Airgenex®food condensation drying may also be slightly modified to provide cooling if desired or required for the specific process.
