Food preservation is an age-old process. Open sun drying has always been the most traditionally proven and effective method of preserving food products. However, with the introduction of machines and technology, things have become easier and faster for the companies operating in the food processing industry.

The purpose of an industrial drying machine is to extract excess moisture from food items and preserve them effectively without compromising the quality and shelf life of the food product.

Industrial dryer manufacturers design machines that help preserve food items effectively.

 

Industrial food dryer – how does it work?

Generally, kind, industrial drying machines comprise a separate drying compartment where the food is placed for drying purposes. With the help of heat and temperature changes, the excess moisture is extracted from the food products.

Generally, the machine’s heat source is biofuel, natural gas or steam. The industrial dryer works differently, where the hot air is released into the chamber, and the food items inside the chamber are dried up.

 

What are the types of industrial food dryers?

 

Spray dryer

Spray dryers are used mainly in the pharmaceutical industry. This is used to remove liquid content from food items. There are different parts of this dryer. It consists of a feeder, drying chamber, hot air chamber and dried particle collector. This can effectively preserve the liquid’s flavour and fragrance even after it has been dried.

 

Drum dryer

There’s a rotating drum in this type of dryer, and the food is placed inside the same. Hot air evaporates the moisture present in the food. The best part about using this dryer is that it doesn’t affect the item’s texture. Moreover, these machines are durable and can dry up bulk amounts of food, fruits and vegetables in a single go. Moreover, the drum dryer is also available in different sizes, which makes it a feasible choice for food processing companies.

 

Tray dryer

As the name goes, a tray dryer includes several trays where the food products are placed. They are generally used for drying grains, vegetables or nuts. The trays are arranged in racks and are pushed inside to dry up the food.
