Buhler Aeroglide Introduces SmartDry FOOD
New dryer provides consistent product quality for extruded snack pellets, DX snacks and cereal.
- (1888PressRelease) January 14, 2015 - Bühler Aeroglide, a global leader in thermal process engineering and technology for food, feed, and advanced industrial materials, has a new dryer option for processors of extruded snack pellets, direct expanded snacks and RTE cereal.
Bühler Aeroglide has introduced SmartDry FOOD, bringing its trademark quality, local support and reputation for consistently efficient drying of extruded snack pellets, direct expanded snacks and RTE cereal, to India's food processors. Designed for food manufacturers who process 800 kilograms or less per hour, the new dryer is engineered for a smarter use of energy with a clean, safe operation that reflects the most recent advances from Bühler's industry collaborations.
"Bühler Aeroglide has been working with the food industry to understand particular food production challenges around the world so that we can offer the solutions our processors need," said Global Director of Food and Feed, Andy Sharpe. "SmartDry FOOD is a response to market demand for a dryer that provides consistently high product quality, energy efficient operation, and many of our latest hygienic design advances in food safety."
The SmartDry FOOD ensures product quality and uniformity by using a three-pass alternating plenum up airflow configuration, with process modules set 180 degrees to each other so that heated air can flow through the drying zone from both sides of the product conveyor. For extruded snack pellet applications, a pre-dryer with optional heat coil uses and up airflow and vibratory technology can pre-dry product and provide non-sticky pellets for the product bed. After drying, an integrated cooler uses ambient air to stop the drying process prior to the product discharge.
SmartDry FOOD makes optimal use of energy with recirculated air and a managed exhaust system. Fully insulated and independently-controlled process modules keep the heated air within the dryer while high efficiency drive motors and direct drive fans help to ensure energy costs are kept in check. And for a clean, safe operation, the SmartDry FOOD features unique, food safe bedplate style conveyors, eliminating the high-maintenance mesh style belts. All product contact areas are constructed from 304 stainless steel and specifically designed to give the processor complete access for effective cleaning.
Bühler Aeroglide manufactures dryers, ovens, roasters, toasters, and hot air expansion systems for the food, feed and industrial product markets. Since 1940, the company has been providing innovations for a better world in the form of high-quality thermal processing equipment.
