Food Dryer System

Some food products are sensitive to higher thermal drying conditions. The Food Dryer uses a pressure-swing system to coax the moisture out of the products with minimum quality degradation due to thermal effects.

 

Key Features

  • Able to dry food products with minimum quality degradation

  • Able to prevent bio-products from undergoing greater colour change

  • Positive effect of drying kinetics of bio-products observed

  • Favourable impact on the pore structure of bio-products observed
