Dryer Technologies

Four Core Drying Systems

Each dryer technology is suited to different product types, moisture levels, and throughput requirements. Our engineers will recommend the right system — or combination of systems — for your specific application.

Rotary Drum Dryers

High-capacity continuous drying for granular and bulk materials

Rotary Drum Dryers

Our rotary drum dryers are engineered for continuous, high-throughput drying of spices, grains, pulses, coffee parchment, tea, and other granular food products. The rotating drum ensures uniform heat exposure and consistent moisture reduction across the entire product bed.

Key Features

  • Adjustable drum inclination for residence time control
  • Integrated cyclone separator for fines recovery
  • Insulated drum shell for energy efficiency
  • PLC-controlled inlet temperature and drum speed
  • Easy-access inspection hatches and cleanout ports
  • Optional heat recovery from exhaust air

Available Configurations

Direct-fired rotary dryerIndirect-fired rotary dryerSteam-tube rotary dryerBiomass-fired rotary dryer

Technical Specifications

Capacity
500 kg/hr – 15,000 kg/hr (product dependent)
Drum Diameter
600 mm – 2,400 mm
Drum Length
3 m – 18 m
Inlet Temperature
Up to 300°C (product-specific limits apply)
Moisture Reduction
Up to 40% moisture removal in single pass
Heat Source
Diesel, LPG, biomass, or electric
Drive
VFD-controlled gear motor with variable drum speed
Material
SS304 / SS316 product-contact surfaces; MS structural

Belt Dryers

Gentle, low-temperature drying for delicate food products

Belt Dryers

Belt dryers provide gentle, uniform drying for products that cannot withstand the tumbling action of rotary dryers — including sliced fruits and vegetables, herbs, flower petals, and fragile spices. Multi-zone temperature control preserves colour, aroma, and nutritional value.

Key Features

  • Multi-zone temperature and airflow control
  • Gentle product handling — no tumbling or impact
  • Hygienic open-frame design for easy cleaning
  • Automatic product loading and discharge
  • Integrated exhaust air humidity monitoring
  • CIP-compatible belt and tray designs available

Available Configurations

Single-pass belt dryerMulti-pass (return) belt dryerMulti-tier belt dryerVacuum belt dryer (low-temperature)

Technical Specifications

Capacity
100 kg/hr – 5,000 kg/hr (product dependent)
Belt Width
600 mm – 2,400 mm
Belt Length
4 m – 30 m (single or multi-pass)
Temperature Range
40°C – 180°C (zone-controlled)
Airflow
Cross-flow or through-flow; adjustable per zone
Belt Material
SS wire mesh or perforated SS plate
Drive
VFD-controlled belt speed (0.1 – 2.0 m/min)
Zones
2 – 8 independent temperature zones

Fluidised Bed Dryers

Rapid, uniform drying for powders, granules and small particles

Fluidised Bed Dryers

Fluidised bed dryers (FBD) deliver rapid, highly uniform drying for powders, granules, seeds, and small-particle food products. The fluidisation process ensures every particle is individually exposed to the drying air, resulting in consistent moisture content and short drying times.

Key Features

  • Uniform moisture distribution across entire batch
  • Short drying times vs. rotary or belt dryers
  • Integrated bag filter — zero product loss
  • PLC-controlled inlet temperature, airflow, and bed pressure
  • Batch or continuous operation modes
  • Hygienic design with full CIP capability

Available Configurations

Batch FBD (static bed)Continuous FBD (plug flow)Vibro-fluidised bed dryerSpouted bed dryer for coarse particles

Technical Specifications

Capacity
50 kg/hr – 3,000 kg/hr
Bed Area
0.25 m² – 12 m²
Inlet Air Temperature
60°C – 200°C
Fluidisation Velocity
0.5 – 3.0 m/s (product dependent)
Moisture Reduction
Typically 15–25% to <1% in single pass
Residence Time
5 – 45 minutes (adjustable)
Bag Filter
Integrated pulse-jet bag filter for fines recovery
Material
Full SS304 / SS316 construction

Spray Dryers

Powder production from liquid feeds — instant and encapsulated products

Spray Dryers

Our spray dryers convert liquid feeds — extracts, concentrates, slurries, and emulsions — into free-flowing powders in a single continuous operation. Widely used for instant coffee, tea extracts, spice oleoresins, dairy powders, and encapsulated flavours.

Key Features

  • Rotary disc or nozzle atomisation — selectable per product
  • Integrated cyclone separator and bag filter
  • PLC-controlled inlet/outlet temperature and feed rate
  • CIP system for rapid product changeover
  • Inert gas (N₂) option for oxidation-sensitive products
  • Agglomeration option for instant-dispersible powders
