Drying results up to 0.02 gram per product
Improved technique
“There are various ways in which this residual water can be disposed of. For example, by transporting products through a drying tunnel or by blowing off the water from products. Until recently we did the latter ourselves.
Thanks to our close collaboration with customers, we have made the next step in the development of our in-line dryer. By blowing off retort water from wet products, on the one hand, a relatively large amount of energy was consumed and, on the other hand, a potential risk is created that the moisture can eventually cause damage or wear in the production environment. By developing a new extraction technique, we kill two birds with one stone: by using a product-based air flow, considerable less air consumption is required and the dryer’s footprint is now reduced by as much as 50%. In this way we are even better able to meet new customer needs.”
