Key Facts
- Counterflow Dryer The principle involves hot air passing through one or more layers of products, and it is available in single or multiple stages depending on the desired throughput. It is characterized by low energy consumption (between 0.8 and 0.9 kWh per kilogram of evaporated water). The air can be heated either with a gas burner or a steam heat exchanger.
- Vibrated Fluid Bed Dryer Ideal for specific products and/or small-sized and/or low-density products. A flow of hot air passes through the product layer, and the product is advanced by vibration. The vibrations allow for better particle circulation and a more homogeneous distribution of heat, thereby improving drying efficiency. Used in For food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

Product information
SETREM offers a wide range of dryers that meet the extrusion requirements: the type of product to be extruded and the quantity of water for evaporation
Dryers in the food industry are essential not only for the manufacturing process but also for ensuring that the final products meet expectations in terms of quality, safety, and shelf life.
Importance of Drying
Preservation and conservationDrying reduces water activity in food, inhibiting microbial growth and extending shelf life.It allows for more efficient storage and transportation.Final product quality
Precise moisture control is essential to maintain the texture, taste, and appearance of extruded food products.Inappropriate moisture levels can result in overly dry, brittle products or those with an ...
