H ighly homogeneous treatment Cooling section can be foreseen after drying zone. A djustment of temperature, gas velocity and direction in each section Band dryer can be fitted with accessories (feeder, spreader, cleaning devices, etc.). M ultiple processing in one single equipment It is the most appropriate equipment for fragile, sticky, pasty products or products requiring long and accurate residence time. V ersatility of processes and applications A ccurate adjustment of residence time P ossibility to add accessories for mechanical action on product Mobile unit MAIN APPLICATIONS MAIN PROCESSES PILOT TEST LABORATORY Extrudates, beads, granules, crumbs, paste, pet food, sliced vegetables, prills, flakes, etc. Drying, calcining, cooling, cooking, toasting, dehydration, etc. For determination of band dryers parameters, using a batch lab scale pilot.
