The pre-dryer is used to reduce the fresh product humidity when coming out from the pasteurizer; it lowers also the Aw water activity to the desired values for an optimal conservation of the product. The hygrometric conditions of the treatment chamber are adjusted through a combination of air flow extraction and sprayed steam injection, all controlled automatically by the PLC. The dimensions of the machine can be customized according to the specific drying effect required. The continue solution where the product falls over several horizontal conveyor belts is suitable for a long conditioning, in a machine characterized by a compact size. On demand, PTG offers customized solutions with more than one machine for the thermal conditioning (pasteurization & drying or drying & cooling) realized on a single unit, to save space in the working area.
